As a wise man once said: “If you wanna be the best, you gotta beat the best.”
For Cleveland and the rest of the AL Central right now, the best remains the Twins — a team coming off back-to-back AL Central wins and looking to slug their way to a third. Only the Yankees have hit more than the Twins’ 398 home runs in the last two seasons, and only the Yankees and Dodgers have scored more than their 1208 runs.
For the third year in a row, Minnesota will roll out much of the same lineup.
