The Twins have had a solid season, showing a lot of promise. However, their recent form has seen them drop off from playoff contention. Till September 20, Twins fans were jubilant and excited for the forthcoming weeks, as their team had a string of games they should have breezed through.
However, the Twins got swept against the Kansas City Royals 3-0, following a defeat to the Cleveland Guardians. To exacerbate matters, they lost the opening game of the ongoing series against the Angels as well, which makes it five straight defeats for the Twins.
Minnesota looked almost certain of a playoff berth, but their string of losses has allowed the Chicago White Sox to build a buffer in second place. All’s not lost just yet for the Twins, though, as they are only three games behind the Sox in the race for a wildcard slot.
Meanwhile, for the Angels, their season is pretty much done. They have nothing left to play for in the standings and are out of playoff reckoning. It has been a one-man show for the Angels, as Shohei Ohtani has had a blinder of a season once again.
He is yet again one of the frontrunners for the MVP award. This season, he has averaged .271 with the bat, with an RBI of 90 and an ERA of 2.47. He also has the most strikeouts per nine innings (11.9) in the MLB.
