Team is a joke man. They're not for real. I managed to find MIN as a dog for the series at one sportsbook, which is absolutely ridiculous. Had to bet it.
We saw it last season. The later the season went on, teams figured out Gausman's splitter and just wait it out, waiting for a pitch they can crank. Team was never going to be prepared or in the right headspace considering they celebrated a backdoor playoff loss clinch like they won the World Series.
Splitter hasn't really been there for Gausman so far. And Twins will happily lay off pitches
Happened last season in the 2nd half too. Teams pretty much solve his splitter.
