MINNEAPOLIS (Interstat) — The Toronto Blue Jays and Minnesota Twins close out their four-game series Saturday afternoon at Target Field, with both teams looking to gain traction in the early season standings. First pitch is scheduled for 2:10 p.m. under cloudy skies, with the temperature expected to hover around 53 degrees. Toronto (14-17) will send right-hander Dylan Cease (1-1) to the mound. Cease has been inconsistent this season, but he’ll aim to help the Blue Jays bounce back after they dropped Thursday’s series opener 7-1 before rebounding with a 3-2 win Friday. Toronto has also listed left-hander Connor Prielipp (1-0) as a probable pitcher, though it’s unclear if he will start or work in relief. The Twins (14-18) counter with right-hander Bailey Ober, who is coming off a strong outing against these same Blue Jays on Thursday. Ober pitched six innings, allowing one earned run on four hits with two strikeouts in Minnesota’s 7-1 victory. Players to watch For Toronto, reliever Tommy Nance has been sharp of late. Over his past five appearances, spanning 4⅓ innings, Nance has not allowed an earned run while striking out nine. He threw 1⅓ scoreless innings in Thursday’s loss against the Twins and has been a reliable arm out of the bullpen. For Minnesota, Ober continues to be a steady presence in the rotation. In his last five starts, he has pitched at least five innings each time, posting a 2.70 ERA over that span with 24 strikeouts in 30 innings. His command against Toronto’s lineup Thursday was particularly effective. Recent history The Blue Jays and Twins have split the first two games of this series. Toronto took Friday’s contest 3-2 to even the set after Minnesota’s 7-1 win Thursday. The teams also met in Toronto earlier this month, with the Blue Jays taking two of three games at Rogers Centre. By the numbers Interstat’s game simulator projects a 5-3 Toronto victory. The Blue Jays are listed as a minus-1.5 favorite on the run line, and the over/under is set at 8 runs. Looking ahead Following Saturday’s game, the clubs wrap up the series Sunday afternoon. The Blue Jays then travel to Tampa Bay for a three-game set starting Monday, while the Twins head to Washington for a three-game series beginning Tuesday.
