The Twins have been on a roller-coaster ride for the last two weeks.
They started with a six-game winning streak but then dropped three consecutive one-run decisions, including two extra-inning affairs against Tampa.
But the Twins bounced back from a 6-5 loss to the Athletics on Friday by winning the series' final two games, limiting Oakland to two combined runs in the victories.
Minnesota looks to turn things around in road series openers, as the Twins have lost five of their past six in that situation.
Joe Ryan has put together a career-best 3.13 ERA this season, as the Twins right-hander has allowed two earned runs or less in three consecutive starts. Ryan pitched well in his last outing against Tampa Bay by giving up one earned run in six innings, but the Twins still lost, 3-2, after 10 frames.
The Twins have lost three of Ryan's past four starts, including his past two road outings at Pittsburgh and Houston. Minnesota began the season with five victories in Ryan's first five starts away from Target Field, but the Twins have led twice through five innings in seven away appearances.
Ryan is currently on a 4-0 under run in his last four starts, while hitting the under in seven of his past 10 trips to the mound.
Last season, Minnesota swept Arizona at Target Field, but Ryan didn't appear in any of those games.
The Diamondbacks won the series opener at Philadelphia on Friday in an NLCS rematch but dropped the final two games of the weekend at Citizens Bank Park.
Arizona's last six opponents have all had losing records, with the D-backs going 10-8 in this span against the Reds, Tigers, Marlins, Giants, Angels, and White Sox.
Minnesota is the first team with a winning record to invade Chase Field since San Diego visited Arizona in early May.
The D-backs turn to right-hander Brandon Pfaadt in the series opener, who is coming off a loss as nearly a -170 road favorite at Washington in his last start.
Pfaadt is making only his second home start in his last seven outings, as he gave up one earned run in each of his past two starts at Chase Field against the Reds and Angels.
Pfaadt cashed the over on his strikeout prop in six consecutive starts before not striking out a single batter against the Nationals, marking the second time he did not record a K this season.
On the other hand, opposing starting pitchers facing the Twins have finished under their strikeout prop in nine of the past eleven games.
Arizona began the season with a dreadful 3-16 record in series openers, but the D-backs have turned things around by winning six consecutive series openers.

Twins vs. Diamondbacks
Betting Pick & Prediction
Arizona will have its first big home test in a while tonight, but the D-backs have responded well to series openers lately.
Pfaadt flips from the road favorite role to a home underdog tonight, where he has performed well and should get back in the strikeout column after being held without a K at Washington.
Also, the Twins have dropped five consecutive night games away from Target Field.
I'm backing the Snakes in this one.
Pick: Diamondbacks ML (+106 | Play to +100)
