2013 Game 60: Twins at Nationals
It's been a long, sucky day already and it's only looking to get worse, so I'll get in and out on this one. Sam Deduno faces Nate Karns, who makes his third start in the majors. In the minors, he walked too many but struck out an impressive number (262 in 216 innings).
I'd love to have a day off for this doubleheader, but unfortunately that wasn't in the cards. At best, I'll see the end of the first game.

2013 Game 56: Twins at Royals
Walters

Guthrie
It's nice that the Royals, despite going for it, have returned to being the Royals. B-R has their SRS just behind the Twins: -0.1 versus 0.1. That said, Jeremy Guthrie is going for the Royals.
Game 55: The Third Place Twins vs. The Where you Expect Them To Be Royals
Lake Deduderino (1-1, 5.11 ERA) vs. Mendoza (1-2, 4.63 ERA)
Hey, its Tuesday!
I just found out Deduno's middle name is Lake, which should make him a great fit for Minnesota because of lakes. Anyway, while I can't read his mind, I expect he'd like to build off of a pretty good start last week against Milwaukee in which he threw the most innings in a game a starter has thrown for the Twins since, I think and without looking this up, Johan Santana was with the team. Granted, it came against what is a very, very bad Brewers team, but on the bright side, this start is coming against a very bad Royals team. Plus, per Pos's recent column on the subject, they hate walks, which is good for Deduno.
More importantly, today marks the return of Clete Thomas. I know the anticipation was thick, and now all that waiting should finally pay off. Probably in the form of many, many strikeouts, though.
Hopefully, the power can continue and the Twins can do what they ought to be able to do against the lowly Royals.
2013 Game 54: Mariners at Twins
Jeremy Bonderman (?!) vs. Scott Diamond.
The Twins have somewhat gotten well lately against bad teams, and are up to an unimpressive-but-not-like-the-past-two-seasons 24-29. Bonderman last pitched in 2010 and is returning from multiple surgeries; normally I'd like a story like this to start with a happy comeback, but that can wait a game, right?
I'm going to link to the WGOM 2013 Predictions Spreadsheet since we'll be exactly one-third of the way through the season after this game. For the division winners, I highlighted any pick that is currently on track for the playoffs. For the wild cards, the darker yellow shows that both picks are on track while the lighter denotes one team is correct.
TEAMS ON TRACK FOR PLAYOFFS:
7 - Philosofer
6 - CarterHayes, DK, Dread Pirate

Does anyone see any other fun stuff there? I didn't do updates on the rookies since many haven't joined the big club and it would just lead to depression over Hicks's opening month. I didn't look at MVPs either, but that's mostly because it would take a while. I'm happy with my Upton pick, though.
