Available at FanDuel. I've got the Twins at 76.5% to win, up from 68.8% implied. The Twins' health is improving with both Max Kepler and Joey Gallo recently coming off the IL. Tyler Mahle altered his cutter from last year to make it more slider-y, and the early returns are solid. He has a 3.47 SIERA in 3 starts. Trevor Williams on the other side has struggled in his return to the rotation, so I don't mind being high on the Twins with these factors aligned.
