Tigers vs Twins Prediction

The Twins have won back-to-back games just once since May 25, and Matthews has been a disaster through 10.1 road innings, where he has an 8.71 ERA and a .262 batting average allowed. The Tigers haven’t won with Montero on the mound since May 2, and he’s allowed 3 or more earned runs in 4 of his last 5 starts. I’m not thrilled with this pitching matchup, and I don’t trust either of these teams. I expect a crooked number in this spot. Give me the over.
