It’s hard to go against the Twins when facing such a poor team as the Tigers. Detroit’s best hitter Miguel Cabrera is questionable with tightness in his left biceps. With Matthew Boyd on the mound, the Tigers have lost each of the lefthander’s last 4 starts versus the Twins. Minnesota has won 5 of the last 6 versus the Tigers in Detroit and 14 of the last 19 overall. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota Twins win 6-2
