Berríos
vs
Skoglund
Final tune-up for the Twins as they prepare for visiting the Yankees next week. Still a couple things to do such as maintain that bomba lead.
Randy Dobnak
vs
Daniel Norris
Dobnak continues his improbable year. I don't know if the Twins juggled his position in the rotation to have him start around his wedding this Saturday, but that's how it is. Regular rest dictates his next start would be Monday so he's ready for a Game 1 (unlikely) start.
Ivan Nova
vs
Jake Odorizzi
Odorizzi gets to try again at pitching in a game. He's done well against the White Sox this year, his only loss coming in a game where the other starter did pretty well.
Nova has also done well against the Twins this year. He has a 5.06 ERA for the season and a 3.12 versus the Twins.
The Twins are projected for 99.9 wins now and could be the underdog in every series.
Stephen Strasburg
vs
Martín Pérez
A good postseason test tonight for the Twins. Strasburg is really good. Pérez is a pitcher. Berríos delivered a very strong start yesterday and it's Pérez's turn to get five acceptable innings before handing it to the *checks notes* 12-man bullpen. Batters, this isn't Berríos, please don't forgot about the dongers.
