Detroit is 19-39 in their last 58 Monday games and 8-19 in their last 27 games. The under is 4-1 in Detroit’s last 5 Monday games. Minnesota is 5-1 in their last 6 game one’s of a series and 16-5 in their last 21 games against the AL Central. The over is 4-0-1 in Minnesota’s last 5 games. Detroit is 18-40 in these two teams last 58 head to head meetings.

The Tigers had put together three straight games in which they only scored one run before playing better and getting the win on Sunday. This Detroit team has had a ton of injuries to their pitching staff and is running out of answers. The Twins have been playing well all season and are coming off of a sweep against the Royals. I like the Twins by 1.5 here against a Detroit team that has not hit the ball well all year.
