Detroit at Minnesota

The Minnesota Twins salvaged the final game of a three-game series in New York. They host the Tigers this weekend, and Minnesota has a better home record than away, but the Tigers are going with Tarik Skubel in the opener. Skubel gave up four runs in his last outing, just the fourth time he's allowed four runs in a game since May 9. He's a strong bounce-back contender, as he has followed those previous three games by allowing a total of four runs. The Twins are starting Bailey Ober, who has allowed 31 runs in his last 41 innings, and this mismatch is worth a lot more than the 2-1 odds. Bet on Detroit to win. 

1.5 units on Detroit -187 (moneyline) (risk 1.5 to return 2.3)
