At 6:45pm ET, my Road Warrior selection is on the Minnesota Twins. One of these teams may still make the playoffs. The other will not. Though they've lost 6 in a row, the Twins are still in reasonably good shape in their division. Cleveland now has a 6.5 game lead on them. That's not where they want to be but its far from insurmountable. The Nationals are 12 back of the Phillies in the NL East, 7 games back of the Braves. They know they're not catching them. The Twins need to take advantage of the favorable matchup and close out this series with wins today and tomorrow!

The Nationals are 7-13 off a win. The Twins are 15-9 their last 24 tries, after allowing 10 runs or more. Ryan has a 1.85 ERA in 4 road starts. Corbin is 1-4 and he has a 5.59 ERA and 1.738 WHIP this season. The Twins beat him last spring and they will do so again today. Play on Minnesota.
