Game Analysis & Prediction
The Twins enter Game 2 with momentum after a 10-3 rout in the series opener. Minnesota’s offense exploded in the later innings, with Willi Castro launching two solo homers and the team scoring eight runs in the final four frames. Despite losing Pablo López to a shoulder strain, the Twins remain strong contenders against a struggling Athletics squad.
Oakland, on the other hand, is desperate to snap its eight-game losing streak. The Athletics have lost 19 of their last 20 games, struggling both offensively and defensively. Jacob Wilson continues to shine, leading all MLB rookies in batting average and hits, but the team’s pitching woes have been a major setback.
