The Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins meet Tuesday in MLB action at Target Field. The Detroit Tigers need a win after losing four of their last five games. The Minnesota Twins look to build on their five-game winning streak.
The Detroit Tigers have scored nine runs in their last three games and three or fewer runs in five of their last eight games. The Tigers have lost 10 of their last 12 games when scoring three or fewer runs. Miguel Cabrera leads the Tigers with 37 hits and 16 RBI, while Jeimer Candelario and Austin Meadows have combined for 54 hits and 23 RBI. Beau Brieske gets the ball, and he is 0-3 with a 5.13 ERA and 15 strikeouts this season. This will be Brieske’s first career game against the Twins.
The Minnesota Twins have scored 21 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five straight games. The Twins have won seven straight games when scoring four or more runs. Luis Arraez leads the Twins with 38 hits and 11 RBI, while Jorge Polanco and Max Kepler have combined for 69 hits and 46 RBI.

The Tigers are 4-13 in their last 17 road games and 8-19 in their last 27 overall. The Twins are 11-4 in their last 15 home games and 21-8 in their last 29 overall. The under is 40-16-2 in Tigers last 58 overall. The over is 4-0-1 in Twins last 5 overall. The Tigers are 7-23 in the last 30 meetings in Minnesota and 18-40 in the last 58 meetings.
Beau Brieske has been rough this month, allowing 18 hits and 11 earned runs through his last 16.1 innings. Not what you want to see when going up against a Twins offense that’s on fire at the moment. Sonny Gray has been great as of late, allowing 12 hits and four runs in his last 14.1 innings. The Minnesota Twins are playing their best ball of the season, and the Tigers continue to come up short across the board. Give me the Twins and the RL for max betting value.
