Twins vs Tigers Predictions and Picks
Minnesota is 22-35 on the road and 3-7 in its last 10 games. The Twins are tied for 22nd in runs scored, 23rd in batting average, 21st in on-base percentage, and 18th in slugging percentage. On the pitching side, they rank 22nd in ERA. Austin Martin performed well in the leadoff spot for the Twins, and they will look to play with a lead like they did in their last game against the Guardians. The starting pitcher for Minnesota is yet to be announced.
Detroit is 36-21 at home and 5-5 in its last 10 games. The Tigers rank fifth in runs scored, 13th in batting average, 16th in on-base percentage, and seventh in slugging percentage. On the pitching side, they are ninth in ERA. Riley Greene leads the team in home runs and RBIs but went hitless in the Phillies series, striking out three times. The Tigers will look to get the offense trending up again and win the clutch moments. On the mound for Detroit is Casey Mize, who is 9-4 with a 3.43 ERA. He has six quality starts this season, but a 6.32 ERA in July.
Best Bet: Over
The Twins' offense was decent in their last series, but their overall pitching is in the lower tier of the league. The Tigers just had a tough series against the elite Phillies and were shut out in the last game. They will look to bounce back at home.
