Detroit at Minnesota

You know you have a struggling offense when Austin Martin is your leading hitter at .235. Such is the case for the Twins, who have the lowest batting average in the majors and are 27th in slugging percentage. The UNDER is 14-4 in Minnesota's last 18 games going back to last season. The Tigers are no offensive bargain on the road. Detroit was shut out, 1-0, by the Diamondbacks in its last away game five days ago. The Tigers are 12-4-1 to the UNDER in their last 17 road contests going back to last year. This should be another low-scoring game in a pitching matchup of Casey Mize vs. Joe Ryan. Mize went six innings against the Diamondbacks in his first start this year. He gave up four hits, one earned run, walked two, and struck out nine. Ryan is one of the most dependable and top pitchers in the American League. He had a 3.42 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 194 strikeouts in 171 innings last season. The Tigers have lost their last four road games. Take the Twins and the UNDER.
