Andrew Abbott is 3.97 ERA and 4.79 FIP. His ERA has been running below his underlying numbers; the surface result has been more favorable than the contact quality and walk rates suggest it should be. He has been a functional starter for Cincinnati, capable of giving them quality innings when his command is sharp, but the 3.97 has had some help that the 4.79 does not support.

Connor Prielipp is 4.03 ERA and 4.32 FIP — numbers that sit close enough together to say he has been getting results in line with his actual performance. He is not a pitcher running above or below his level; he is a pitcher working at an average mid-rotation level. His last three FIPs of 4.48 show a slight recent softening. Byron Buxton and Josh Bell give Minnesota the most dangerous bats in the order, and the Twins carry a lineup capable of doing damage when the pitching gives them a foothold.

Cristopher Sánchez is 1.62 ERA and 2.02 FIP on the season. His last three starts have produced a 1.23 FIP, meaning his most recent work has been better, not just lucky, compared to the year-long number. He is not a pitcher who has built a shiny ERA and is waiting for regression. He is a pitcher who was already excellent and is trending further up. Petco Park, one of the most pitcher-friendly environments in the National League, is an ideal setting for him tonight.

Gerrit Cole returned to the MLB mound for the first time since 2024 against the Rays and tossed 6 scoreless innings, walking 3 and striking out 2, allowing 2 hits. Now, he makes his second start of the season against the Royals.
