López has been solid through his first two starts, showing strong command and limiting hard contact. The Twins haven’t offered much run support so far this season, so López’s ability to go deep into games remains key. Minnesota will look for timely hitting and improved situational offense to back him.

The Royals enter at 5-5, having cooled off after a strong start. Ragans has been electric early, showing swing-and-miss stuff and establishing himself as a top arm in the rotation. He’ll look to bounce back from the loss on Monday and help Kansas City even the series behind sharper command and early run support.

Key to the game will be which offense can capitalize on mistakes. Minnesota’s hitters will need to stay patient against Ragans’ velocity, while Kansas City’s bats must find a way to break through against López’s changeup-heavy approach. A tight, low-scoring affair could be in store.

With López in rhythm and the Twins finally showing signs of life, Minnesota has a solid shot to take back-to-back games. Ragans will compete, but the Twins’ experience and pitching edge may be enough to edge this one out late. Take the Twins to grab the win. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota Twins win 3-2.
