Tigers vs Twins Prediction 

Detroit comes into this matchup after picking up another win on Saturday afternoon and they are one of the hottest teams in the MLB right now. The Tigers have won seven of their last eight games and they continue to get great pitching. Minnesota is just 4-11 on the season and they have scored two runs or fewer in three of their last five games. The Twins are going with Woods Richardson, who has allowed six earned runs over 9.2 innings of work, while the Tigers are going with Mize, who has allowed one earned run over 11.2 innings. Detroit has the better pitcher on the mound and their offense is rolling, so I will back them to win again here.
