With the Minnesota Twins battling the 2025 AL Champion Toronto Blue Jays this weekend, it got me thinking how our boys have historically fared against the previous year’s American League pennant-winning squad. A little Baseball-Reference.com research and some simple math later, and the result is: not good—at all.
Going back to 2001, the Twins are 90-142 against the reigning Junior Circuit champion. That’s a .388 winning percentage (or a 63-99 regular season pace) if you are Bert Blyleven-ing the math at home.
The worst offenders…
In fact, only three times have the Twins even been over .500 against the league champs…
But this afternoon, the Twins have a chance to flip the script and take the series from the defending champs!
