If you like pitching, this could be the series for you.
Few teams boast a rotation like the Twins. Minnesota has the potential to trot out Sonny Gray, Pablo Lopez and Bailey Ober in a three-game series, a standout trio that can hang with any arms. But the Blue Jays have an impressive group of pitchers themselves, boasting one of the league’s best bullpens and a rotation that begins with Kevin Gausman, Jose Berrios and Chris Bassitt.
In a matchup of two great pitching staffs, this could be a question over whose offense can pick up just that one extra run needed to win. Will it be the lineup with among the most home runs in the majors, or the sleeping giant of underperforming stars?

Just about everyone in the Minnesota lineup from start to finish can hit a home run. No one has more than homers than Max Kepler and his 24 long balls. But 12 players in total have launched double-digits.
The Blue Jays have more star power in the offense, with names like Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette and George Springer. However, the group has not lived up to its star billing in 2023, with Guerrero, in particular, posting a down season by his usual lofty standards.
