Minnesota Twins vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
The Twins are a tough sell in their current form, and I don’t believe Paredes is going to save the day. He has just 7.1 career innings under his belt and has had control issues. Valdez is the far more proven pitcher, and he’s coming off a strong five innings against the Mariners. The Tigers have also been a different team at home this season. Give me the Tigers to keep things rolling as they look to dig out of this early hole one game at a time.
