The Twins, playing at home, are listed at +135, suggesting they face an uphill battle in this matchup.

The total runs for the game are set at 8, with the odds slightly favoring the under at -115 compared to -105 for the over. This indicates expectations of a tightly contested game, possibly dominated by pitching or strategic play rather than an offensive onslaught.
