After starting out the season against two division rivals, the Phillies will host an American League team with which they have almost no rivalry. According to historical records, the Phillies and Minnesota Twins have played 18 games against each other, but I’m having a tough time remembering any of them.
While the Phillies and Twins don’t have much of a history, there is a bit of bad blood between Philadelphia and the twin cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul. If you recall, the Minnesota Vikings traveled to Philly in January 2018 for the NFC Championship Game.
