Detroit Tigers vs Minnesota Twins Prediction: Twins can't afford three defeats in a row against Tigers

Detroit and Minnesota will play their fifth consecutive game at Comerica Stadium in Detroit. Will the Twins be able to close the gap? We'll pick a few options to bet on at once.

Before the home series with Minnesota, Detroit had lost to the Twins with a score of 1:5 on the season. The Tigers managed to win three of their four games and cut the lead to 4:6. The team suddenly had a chance at the final win over Minnesota. The opponents still have nine games left to play.

Detroit's recent success has not improved its position in the standings. The Tigers are in fourth place in the American League Central Division with a 20-30 record. Detroit is 13th in the conference standings, ahead of only Oakland and Kansas City.

In the upcoming game, Alex Faedo will pitch for the Tigers, 1-2 and a 3.00 ERA in 5 starts.

The Twins are well on their way to the championship and have the right not to play in some games. Two straight games in Detroit turned out to be such a case. Minnesota lost first 0:4 and then 0:5. In other words, they didn't score a single run in 18 innings.

Despite the loss to Detroit, the team remains in first place in the AL Central Division standings. And in the conference standings, with a 30-22 balance, it's in fourth place. Only the New York Yankees, Houston, and Toronto are ahead.

In the upcoming game, Chris Archer will pitch for Minnesota, 0-2, and with a 4.19 ERA in nine starts.

Minnesota has some squad difficulties. For example, one of the team's leaders, Carlos Correa, is injured. However, the Twins are unlikely to lose three straight to Detroit. With the unstable Chris Archer, Minnesota will likely damage the statistics of Tigers starting pitcher Alex Faedo, a rookie MLB starter. The prediction is a win for Minnesota.
