First pitch is at 7:40 p.m. ET, and you can watch on CHSN.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>What We&#8217;re Up Against<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Vegas has the Twins favored at -147, which puts us at +123 as the underdogs \u2013 nothing new there. The over\/under sits at 9 runs, and the oddsmakers are giving Minnesota a slight edge with 53% win probability versus our 47%. Close enough to keep things interesting.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>On the Mound<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Davis Martin (5-9, 4.03 ERA) gets the ball for us tonight. He struggled in his last start, giving up three earned runs in just 3\u2154 innings, but he&#8217;s capable of better. The Twins are throwing Simeon Woods Richardson (5-4, 4.59 ERA), who got lit up even worse last time out \u2013 five earned runs in 3\u2154 innings. If Martin can locate his fastball and keep the walks down, we&#8217;ve got a real shot here.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Injury Report Blues<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">We&#8217;re still dealing with a brutal injury list. Luis Robert remains out with that hamstring issue, which continues to hurt our lineup. Miguel Vargas is sidelined with a hand injury, and we&#8217;re also missing Dan Altavilla, Elvis Peguero, Miguel Castro, Owen White, Drew Thorpe, Prelander Berroa, and Ky Bush. The good news? The Twins aren&#8217;t exactly healthy either, missing Christian V\u00e1zquez, Pablo L\u00f3pez, David Festa, and others.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Reasons for Hope<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Despite being underdogs again, there are some bright spots. Lenyn Sosa and Colson Montgomery have been swinging hot bats lately, and we&#8217;ve actually been covering the spread pretty well in recent games. Sure, we&#8217;re only winning 36% of games as underdogs this season, but that means we&#8217;re still capable of stealing one when nobody expects it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">The Twins&#8217; Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach will be the main threats we need to contain, but if Martin can pitch to contact and our defense shows up, we can keep this close.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">It&#8217;s been a rough season, no sugarcoating that. But baseball&#8217;s funny \u2013 any given night, any team can win. Martin versus Woods Richardson feels like a coin flip, and in a tight game, we&#8217;ve shown we can compete. Time to prove the oddsmakers wrong.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><em>Catch the game Tuesday at 7:40 p.m. ET on CHSN, or stream it on Fubo.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Let\u00b4s go White
