Tigers vs Twins Prediction

The Twins just can’t get out of their own way, and they’re just not a team I’m trying to back, especially on the road. The Tigers have underachieved overall this season, but they’re putting together a strong week, and they’ve played their best ball this season overall at home. Melton has also looked great through 20.2 innings with a 1.74 ERA and 0.87 WHIP. Low price, I’m going to side with the Tigers at home even if it’s more of a fade of the Twins than anything.
