Tigers vs Twins Prediction

The Tigers are 6-3 in their last 9 meetings against the Twins and are 3-1 in their last 4 visits in Minnesota.

In this Tigers vs Twins Prediction, the Twins are coming as -120 home favorites. The Twins’ bats disappeared in their last two games, having scored just two runs in total and they also have a bottom-10 bullpen ERA this season. Ryan got torched in his previous start, as he gave up 5 runs in 4 innings pitched against the Royals and Minnesota also has a weaker offense with a measly .192 batting average. I just have to take the better team for plus money in this one, so take the Tigers on the moneyline.
