Detroit starter Casey Mize has generally looked good after returning from Tommy John surgery as he has allowed seven runs in 15 1/3 innings and the Tigers have won all three of his starts. The Tigers' pitching has been their bright spot this year, but they are scoring only 3.76 runs per game and Minnesota scores 3.47. Detroit allows opponents 3.95 runs per game. The Tigers have the best bullpen by far in the majors with a 1.60 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP and seven saves. The Twins' relievers also are doing well with a 2.84 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. The UNDER is 5-0-1 in Mize's past six starts in the third game of a series and Mize is 5-0 UNDER versus AL Central teams although most of those games were before his surgery. Take the UNDER as a Max Play.

Detroit is on a 5-9 slide despite just finishing up an eight-game homestand. They're 23rd in runs scored, 26th in on-base percentage, 26th in slugging, and tied for 23rd in steals. Jack Flaherty (4.91 ERA) gets the start, on his third different team in three years. While Detroit had to play yesterday, Minnesota had a day off after a seven-game road trek. Joe Ryan (2.60 ERA) is holding batters to a .209 with a sizzling 24-to-2 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 17+ innings. The bullpen is fifth in ERA (2.71) and ninth in WHIP. The Twins are 24-6 at home after a game where the bullpen blew a save. Play Minnesota as a Max Play.
