Tigers vs Twins Prediction
Detroit was able to pull away in game one for the win and they continue to be a different team over the last seven games. The Tigers are 17-15 at home this year, while the Twins are 12-20 on the road. Minnesota has lost three in a row and they have allowed 6+ runs in three of their last five games. The Twins have not announced a starter, while Valdez has allowed 1, 4, 1, 4, and 2 earned runs in his last five starts. I don’t trust Valdez, but this Detroit offense is going crazy. Take the Tigers -1.5 here.
