I'm playing on MINNESOTA. Both these teams have arguably underachieved. The Twins have been out of the playoff race for some time. The Cardinals are still mathematically alive but reality is setting in. Barring a miracle, they won't be going to the playoffs either. That said, the Twins should have a significant edge on the mound for tonight's opener. Minnesota hasn't provided Berrios with much run support lately but he should get some this evening. Berrios has a dominant 0.75 WHIP his past three starts but an 0-2 record to show for it. LeBlanc, on the other hand, has a 1.917 WHIP his past three starts. That means that LeBlanc is allowing more than 2 1/2 times (2.556) as many baserunners as Berrios, over his past three outings. Needless to say, that's a big difference. Berrios is averaging 6 2/3 innings over those three starts, while LeBlanc is averaging four. It should also be noted that Berrios is 27 years old while LeBlanc is 36. These two opposed each other back in 2019 and it didn't go well for LeBlanc, who was pitching for Seattle at the time. In fact, LeBlanc gave up four HR's in 2 2/3 innings and the Twins won 18-4. In much better current form, expect Berrios to get the better of LeBlanc again tonight.
