Detroit at Minnesota

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.
