Tigers vs Twins Prediction 

Detroit bounced back with a nice win on Saturday afternoon to even this series at one, and they have scored at least eight runs in three of their last five games. The Tigers are 29-14 at home this year, while the Twins are 18-26 on the road. Minnesota is trying to gain some momentum after playing very poorly for a couple of weeks, but they are starting Paddack, who has allowed four earned runs or more in three straight outings. Detroit is going with Skubal, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five. We saw Skubal allow four earned runs last time out and with this Minnesota offense starting to get hot, I think we can get over this low total.
