  • The Twins won a playoff series last fall for the first time since 2002.
  • Minnesota is -125 to win the AL Central before the 2024 season.

The Minnesota Twins ended two prolonged droughts in 2023 by winning their first playoff game since 2004 and their first playoff series since 2002.

Minnesota’s 87-75 campaign ended in the ALDS, but MLB odds expect this team to bounce back this year. The Twins are deserving favorites to win a weak AL Central, but will they make a deeper postseason run this fall?

Twins Futures Odds

Win Total: 86.5
AL Central: -125
AL Pennant: +1000
World Series: +2500

After finally performing in the postseason, Minnesota is getting more respect from MLB betting markets.

The Twins were +3500 to win the World Series and +1800 to win the pennant last year.

Minnesota has minus odds to win the AL Central for just the second time, as it was -125 before a COVID-shortened campaign in 2020. The Twins have won three of the last five division crowns, including that one.

Twins Offseason Moves

Much to the dismay of the fan base, Minnesota refrained from being aggressive in the offseason following a successful 2023 campaign.

Polanco, who had been with the Twins since 2014, was traded to the Seattle Mariners to make room for Minnesota prospect Brooks Lee.

The Twins received four players in the deal, including Topa and DeSclafani. Topa posted a 2.61 ERA across 69 innings last season and projects to hold a middle-inning role with Minnesota this summer.

Twins 2024 Betting Prediction

Prediction: Twins to win AL Central (-125)

Three teams have minus odds to win their respective divisions before the opener. The Twins join an exclusive group that includes the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves.

While Minnesota lacks the upside of those two NL heavyweights, baseball odds expect a similar path to a regular-season division crown. That’s how weak the AL Central is this year.

The Twins might have played it too safe this offseason regarding their ability to make a deep postseason run, but they should have no problem dispatching their division foes. They won this division by nine games last season.

If you want a wager with juicer odds, Royce Lewis is my favorite MLB MVP odds long-shot prediction at +4000. But Minnesota’s odds to win the AL Central could be -200 come summertime.
