Detroit Tigers vs Minnesota Twins Prediction

After getting swept by the Dodgers, the Tigers have found their footing and are putting together strong offensive performances. Olson was better in his last start and has been a promising young pitcher in his third season. The Twins just can’t catch a break, mainly due to an offense that’s scored four or fewer runs in nine of their first 13 games. The Twins are even less attractive in this spot, throwing out Festa, who has yet to pitch this season. As a rookie last year, Festa allowed 62 hits and 35 earned runs through 64.1 innings. This isn’t a spot I’m looking to back the Twins. I’ll grab the slightly better price with the Tigers, the team that’s playing the better baseball right now.
