The Twins face the reigning World Series champions in a high-stakes interleague clash. Minnesota relies on Byron Buxton’s speed and Carlos Correa’s clutch hitting to challenge a Dodgers roster featuring MVP candidates Shohei Ohtani (.320 BA, 28 HR) and Mookie Betts (leadoff HR catalyst). Dodgers’ ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2.45 ERA) aims to contain Minnesota’s aggressive base-running, while Twins’ rookie Marco Raya tests his composure against baseball’s most potent lineup. With both teams jostling for playoff seeding, tactical bullpen usage—especially Twins’ Jhoan Duran’s 102-mph fastball vs. Dodgers’ lefty specialist Alex Vesia—could decide this pitcher-friendly ballpark duel.
