Take #955 Blue Jays over Twins
(MLB) Toronto vs. Minnesota,
Money Line: 121.00 Toronto (Away)
Result: Loss
The Minnesota Twins finally snapped their 18-game playoff drought. Now, the Twins will try to take it one step further and win their first postseason series in over two decades. Minnesota will face the visiting Toronto Blue Jays in Game 2 of a best-of-three American League wild-card series on Wednesday afternoon. The Twins are coming off a 3-1 win in the series opener that was fueled by two home runs from Royce Lewis. "It's all hands on deck (Wednesday)," Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. "These guys know it's going to take everybody to get to Game 3." Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios will take the mound in Game 2. He went 11-12 with a 3.65 ERA in 32 starts this season, and he struck out 184 in 189 2/3 innings. Berrios, 29, is no stranger to Target Field. He spent parts of his first six seasons with the Twins and made three postseason appearances (two starts), going 0-1 with a 3.75 ERA. "I'm going to enjoy it," Berrios said. "I've got my family here. I've got my little one, Diego, he was born in Minnesota. It's going to be special also pitching against old friends, old teammates. ... "I love pitching in this ballpark because the dugout is so close, so I look like I throw 100." We think Berrios shows up here and pitches well, and we finally get some run support from Toronto.
