Why the Twins Could Win Over 87.5 Games (-102)

When watching the Twins, it's clear that they are a team who is reliant on their dominant pitching. During the 2023 season, Minnesota's starting rotation -- led by Pablo Lopez -- combined for the second-best skill interactive earned run average (3.73 SIERA), the second-best WHIP (1.16), and the best strikeout rate (26.3%) in the majors.

Minnesota's bullpen was also impressive, logging the 10th-best SIERA (3.85), the seventh-best WHIP (1.25), and the eighth-best strikeout rate (25.2%). Jhoan Duran is expected to be the Twins' go-to closer to finish games after the hard-throwing righty tallied a career-best -- and team-best -- 27 saves in 2023.

With Minnesota losing veteran Sonny Gray from their rotation, they'll need Joe Ryan and Bailey Ober to continue making positive developments on the mound. On top of that, the Twins are hoping to have Anthony DeSclafani -- who they acquired in the Jorge Polanco trade -- available to begin the season as he deals with elbow soreness in spring training.

While the pitching staff fanned batters with ease, Minnesota's bats also owned the worst strikeout rate (26.6%) last year. The Twins still enjoyed the seventh-best weighted on-base average (.327 wOBA) and the fifth-best ISO (.184) at the plate in 2023.

Aside from wanting healthy seasons from veterans Byron Buxton, Carlos Correa, and Max Kepler, the Twins are leaning on young infielders Edouard Julien and Royce Lewis. After recording the 19th-best wOBA (.315) against left-handed pitching a season ago, Minnesota added Carlos Santana and Manuel Margot as options in the lineup.

In a mediocre division, the Twins have the shortest odds to win the AL Central (-125) entering the 2024 season. Assuming the top of the rotation can remain healthy and the young bats can step up, Minnesota could have nearly 90 wins for the second straight year.

Why the Twins Could Win Under 87.5 Games (-120)

By earning 87 wins in 2023, the Twins achieved 87-plus wins for just the third time since 2010. While Lopez is viewed as the long-term ace for Minnesota, Gray led the team in wins above replacement (5.3 WAR) last season, and his production on the mound won't be available in 2024 as he is now a member of the St. Louis Cardinals.

Similar to most teams, all it takes is one injury to one of the Twins' premier pitchers to alter the outlook of their rotation. Lopez has pitched 180-plus innings in back-to-back years, but can he handle another massive workload for Minnesota?

It goes without saying that a healthy version of Buxton would be a welcome sight for the Twins this season. Having confidence in Buxton staying healthy has been tough with the dynamic outfielder failing to appear in 93-plus games or register 383-plus plate appearances since 2017.

Despite the AL Central not being considered a well-rounded division, the Twins have won the division in back-to-back years just twice since 2009. Even if Minnesota secures another division title in 2024, they may not even need 88-plus wins to pace the division in wins.

With weeks to go until Opening Day, FanGraphs has the Twins projected for just an 84-78 record in the upcoming season, supporting this wager.
