Minnesota at Detroit

The Detroit Tigers have done everything they can to make a race out of the AL Central. They had virtually put away a few weeks ago, but going 8-11 down the stretch has left the door open for a suddenly hot Twins team. The Twins have gone 11-2 in their last 13 games. The Twins have not been know for being a good road team, but that has changed dramatically of late especially against a right-hand pitcher where they are 10-1 in their last 11. Overall, the Twins’ best spot has been facing a right hand pitcher as they have posted a 20-7 mark in their last 27. The Tigers are beginning to feel the pressure and have a rookie pitcher on the mound to open this crucial series. The Tigers have not fared well in this spot. They are now 6-13 returning home from a seven-game or longer road trip, and have dropped the ball in series openers losing five of their last six. The Twins got a Tiger by the tail, and add to the pressure. I’m going with Minnesota here.
