The Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers meet Friday in MLB action at Comerica Park. The Minnesota Twins need a win after losing 10 of their last 14 games. The Detroit Tigers look to build on their 6-game winning streak.
The Minnesota Twins have scored 15 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 10 games. The Twins have split their last 6 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Luis Arraez leads the Twins with 169 hits and 49 RBI, while Carlos Correa and Gio Urshela have combined for 279 hits and 121 RBI. Joe Ryan gets the ball, and he is 12-8 with a 3.70 ERA and 143 strikeouts this season. Ryan is 3-0 with a 3.22 ERA and 30 strikeouts in his career against the Tigers.
The Detroit Tigers have scored 16 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 6 of their last 9 games. The Tigers have won 6 straight games when scoring 4 or more runs. Javier Baez leads the Tigers with 129 hits and 63 RBI, while Harold Castro and Miguel Cabrera have combined for 207 hits and 88 RBI. Tyler Alexander gets the ball, and he is 4-10 with a 4.68 ERA and 50 strikeouts this season. Alexander is 1-2 with a 3.41 ERA and 22 strikeouts in his career against the Twins.
The Twins are 17-36 in their last 53 road games and 4-10 in their last 14 overall. The Tigers are 36-79 in their last 115 Friday games and 6-0 in their last 6 overall. The under is 3-1-1 in Twins last 5 road games. The under is 15-6-3 in Tigers last 24 home games. The Twins are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
The Minnesota Twins are the better team and Joe Ryan has been solid this season, but there's no getting behind the Twins with the way they've looked these last couple weeks. The Twins continue to lose games they shouldn't, and they look like a depressed team that knows they've been eliminated and are counting the days down until vacation. Meanwhile, the Detroit Tigers are putting up offense and have won 6 straight. I'll gladly take the plus money with the team at home that's playing the better ball.
Randy’s Pick Detroit Tigers +126
