Tigers vs Twins Prediction

I’m on the Tigers here. I don’t love the form that Casey Mize is in, but it makes it really hard to back the Twins, given all the offloading that Minnesota did at the trade deadline. They shipped out a lot of their bullpen and consistent lineup players. The Twins went from a team that could contend coming into the year to a team that’s focusing on rebuilding the farm system for the future. Detroit has their eyes fixed on a division title, and I just feel a lot better about the direction that the Tigers are trending in going forward. Give me Detroit here.
