Take #947 Toronto Blue Jays over Minnesota Twins
(MLB) Toronto vs. Minnesota,
Money Line: 103.00 Toronto (Away)
Result: Loss
The Minnesota Twins will try to end a nearly 19-year-old playoff victory drought when they host the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 1 of an American League wild-card series on Tuesday afternoon in Minneapolis. The Twins' most recent playoff victory was Oct. 5, 2004, against the New York Yankees. Since then, Minnesota has lost a record 18 straight postseason games. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays also are eager to turn around their recent playoff fortunes. Toronto has been swept in each of its past two wild-card series, in 2020 against the Tampa Bay Rays and last season against the Seattle Mariners, and it is searching for its first postseason win since Oct. 18, 2016, against Cleveland. We like the Blue Jays to do well today as we think they show up and Gausman pitches well.
