AL Central Leading Twins Take On Divisional Rivals

The Minnesota Twins are gearing up to host the Detroit Tigers for their 12th matchup of the season. The Tigers lead the series 7-4 over the Twins. Minnesota has lost 3 straight against Detroit and were shutout in 2 of those 3 losses. 

The Tigers have done well against their divisional rivals but it’s been a down year for Detroit overall. At 53-65, they are 3rd in the AL Central and 12th in the American League, 8.0 games back from Minnesota. The Tigers went 5-5 in their last 10, averaging 4.2 runs, 9.1 hits, and 1.3 home runs per game.   

The Twins are having a decent season at 62-58. Minnesota leads the AL Central and they are 8th in the American League. The Twins went 6-4 in their last 10, averaging 4.7 runs, 8.5 hits, and 2.0 home runs per contest.  

I like the Twins in this one. Minnesota is heavily favored by most sportsbooks and are being given a 71.1% chance to win by ESPN Analytics. The Twins may have a losing record against the Tigers, but they have a winning record at home (33-24), and are coming off back-to-back wins with double-digit hitting figures. 

So for our Tigers vs. Twins expert pick, take the Minnesota Twins Moneyline (-196) on Tuesday.
