Oakland visits Minnesota for a three game set, leaning on Nick Kurtz, Shea Langeliers, and JJ Bleday to spark the lineup while Luke Keaschall and Lawrence Butler add speed and versatility. Minnesota counters with Byron Buxton atop the order and Trevor Larnach and Matt Wallner in the heart of the lineup behind Joe Ryan on the mound. The clash pits patient at-bats and power against solid pitching and bullpen depth, with Oakland hoping Langeliers growing pop and Kurtz on base ability create run opportunities against a steady Twins rotation.

Fantasy players should watch Langeliers as a catcher with upside and Kurtz as a multi position bat who can drive runs in this series; Buxton remains a high ceiling option when healthy, with Larnach and Wallner offering solid DFS pop. The series could hinge on Buxton health and Minnesota's ability to maximize plate appearances against Oakland mid rotation arms and bullpen inefficiencies, while Langeliers and Kurtz present deeper breakout targets for daily fantasy and wagers.
