What the Twins have accomplished in the face of injuries, reduced payroll and pretty much no help at the trade deadline is one of the most impressive storylines in baseball this season.
With 38 games left on the regular-season schedule, only three games separate the Minnesota Twins from the best record in Major League Baseball.
Based on remaining strength of schedule, the Dodgers have the easiest path to the best record in baseball, followed closely by the Orioles and Yankees. Among the top-10 teams entering play Monday, only two have hard remaining schedules than the Twins: the Royals and Diamondbacks.Minnesota sits three games back despite losing 13 of 20 games to start the season. Since April 22, however, the Twins 63-41 record is the best in the majors.
Even more impressive is that the Twins are keeping pace with the Guardians in the AL Central and the rest of the top teams in baseball despite running with three rookies in the starting rotation. Simeon Woods Richardson has been in the starting rotation most of the season, while recent injuries to Ryan and Chris Paddack have elevated top pitching prospects David Festa and Zebby Matthews to the big-league club.
