7 total games. 4 for the Twins. 3 for us.
We just need 2 good outcomes of those 7.
There’s a lot of ways that this works out for us. Only a handful of ways this works out for the Twins.
Sweeps are hard even against bad teams. I don’t see us getting swept. I don’t see the Twins sweeping Baltimore.
By pulling off the sweep of our own against Washington, I’ll be really surprised if disaster happens. Obviously, it’s possible but sounds unlikely.
