Tigers vs Twins Prediction

The Twins have had issues on the road this season, and Matthews isn’t a pitcher I’m excited to back with his 4.69 ERA and 1.25 WHIP. On the road through 60 frames, Matthews has a 6.45 ERA and a .272 allowed batting average. Montero is far more trustworthy with a 3.52 ERA and 1.03 WHIP, and he has a 3.38 ERA and a .236 allowed batting average at home. Early starts also usually favor the home teams. Give me the Tigers and the reasonable price.
