Unfortunately for Arizona, their pitching statistics reveal some challenges: 4.57 in team ERA with 1.36 as the WHIP; they have had mixed results recently, including going 2-3-1 over their past 5 games with less-than-stellar home performances — an area for Twins exploitation.

Chris Paddack of the Minnesota Twins enters this matchup boasting an overall record of 5-3 with an ERA of 5.29 over 78.1 innings pitched. Over this timeframe he allowed 94.4 hits; an alarming amount considering 70 strikeouts indicate an ability to strikeout batters effectively when needed; 13 home runs allowed and two of which hit hard were main concerns; thus it will be essential for him to establish control early and avoid giving away big hits in order to remain competitive for his team in this contest.
