The Baltimore Orioles will square off against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. The Minnesota Twins are coming off of a 5-4 win against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. That's a big momentum win for them as they open their series against the Orioles today.

The Minnesota Twins will send out Pablo Lopez in this game. He has been good this season with a 2-2 record and 2.25 ERA over 5 appearances. Pablo Lopez has been strong in his career when going against the Baltimore Orioles, putting up a 1.24 ERA with a 3-1 record in 5 starts. Adley Rutschman, Ryan O'Hearn, Cedric Mullins, Gunnar Henderson, Ryan Mountcastle, Jackson Holliday have combined to go 9 for 44 when taking on Pablo Lopez.

Cade Povich gets nod for the Baltimore Orioles in this one. Povich has been pitching below his expectation lately with a 1-2 record and a 6.07 ERA with 25 strikeouts. His command has not been great at all. He's a worker though who is trying to improve himself so I would not be surprised when/if he snaps out of his funk.

The Minnesota Twins are 9-6 when playing at home this season. The Baltimore Orioles have gone 5-11 on the road. The Minnesota Twins have gone 4-2 when playing AL-East opponents this season in their last 6.
