Detroit Tigers vs Minnesota Twins Prediction: Twins take revenge in the second game of series with Tigers

The next game day of the MLB regular season will open with a divisional clash between the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins. Who will be stronger in this game?

Detroit Tigers

The Tigers have won four of their last five games. First, the team won the road series with Minnesota (4:2). Then they took 2 out of 3 games on the home field against Cleveland (4:3, 1:8, 2:1). And now they also started their home winning streak against the Twins (7:5). The team from Detroit got tired of sitting at the bottom of the standings and decided to climb back up the standings. With an 18-29 record, the Tigers are in last place in the American League standings, only ahead of the Kansas City Royals.

A severe playmaking imbalance still characterizes Detroit. In terms of defense, the team ranks in the top ten in efficiency, allowing an average of 3.87 runs per game, but in terms of offense, with 2.72, it is the worst in the league. The Tigers' best at bat is the legendary Miguel Cabrera, playing the role of the designated hitter, with just three home runs and 18 RBI while batting 29.4%.

Detroit's starting pitcher for the upcoming game is Ronny Garcia - 0-0 and 3.00 ERA In 9 games, only 1 of which he has played in a start.

Minnesota Twins

Even after losing the first game of the series to Detroit (5:7), the team leads the AL Centre Division by a good margin. Minnesota has 29-20. The Twins' closest pursuers, the Chicago White Sox, are 23-23. Minnesota is third in the American League standings, behind only the New York Yankees and Houston.

Like Detroit, Minnesota's defense is good, allowing an average of 3.65 runs per game. However, the Twins have trouble on offense, scoring 4.35 points. Among the Twins' batters, center fielder Byron Buxton can be seen with 11 home runs and 21 RBI, though only 20.5% of his batting average.

Devin Schmelzer will pitch for Minnesota in the upcoming game - 1-0 and 1.04 ERA in 3 starts.

Expert Betting Tips

The first meeting of the series was a high-scoring one, so the second meeting will probably be a low-scoring one. Both teams have been very successful defensively throughout the championship. In addition, it's worth considering bets on a Minnesota win. After all, the class of the opponents is not comparable, and a second loss by the Twins to the Tigers in a row will be a big surprise. Prediction: Minnesota will win.
