The new standard-bearer in the American League Central is Rocco Baldelli’s Minnesota Twins. The team has won three division titles since Baldelli, the former MLB outfielder, took over for Paul Molitor in 2019, including last year’s 87-75 campaign.
The Twins have gone 238-248 (.490) since 2021, though things are looking up in the Twin Cities after last year, when Minnesota snapped the club’s 18-game losing streak in playoff games. That skid stretched back to 2004 but ended when the Twins bested the Toronto Blue Jays in a 2023 Wild Card series. There were no legal Minnesota sportsbooks to take action on that, but there is movement to try to change that.
Now, the Twins return to the diamond with +2500 World Series odds on ESPN BET, tied with the Chicago Cubs for No. 10 on the board as of Friday afternoon. Minnesota has -180 odds of making the postseason once again this fall, and +145 odds to miss out.
