Don't adjust your dial, yes, you've heard it right, the Minnesota Twins are headed to swing their sticks at Truist Park, trying to bring misery on the Atlanta Braves.

Our starting pitchers for today's tango are Chris Paddack from the Twins who's having quite the ride this season with an ERA of 9.67 from 3 appearances, and Bryce Elder for the Braves with a slightly less horrifying ERA of 7.20 from his 2 outings. Let's not forget Elder's more experienced arm, with his last season carrying an ERA of 6.778 from 10 appearances. Must say, this pair has got a lot of room for improvements.

Let's move onto our sluggers in the rank. Minnesota's side is emblazoned with Ty France, Harrison Bader, and Byron Buxton who bring in some solid firepower, although Buxton's batting average could use a touch-up. Braves' roster flaunts Nick Allen, Austin Riley, and Ozzie Albies, with Albies' currently underperforming batting average of 0.239 that needs some dusting off.

Looking at their past bash-ups, the Braves have had an unyielding upper-hand over the Twins in their recent encounters. Could the Twins upset this continuity? Hard to say given their current season record of 7-12, compared to the Braves even worse 5-13. Recent scores also depict the Twins being more consistent with wins, while the Braves have been more on the receiving end of misery.

All said, the batter-friendly Truist Park today might give the slight nudge the Twins require to turn this bus around. My mind's telling me this is going to be a closely contested game, folks.
