The Tigers are coming into this game with a 14-26 record overall and they are 5-13 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 3 game losing streak that they were on. They just split their 2-game series against the Cleveland Guardians 1-1 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Twins on Tuesday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday with the series opener still to be played on Monday. Elvin Rodriguez is the starting pitcher for them on Monday while there is no probable pitcher yet on the mound for them here on Tuesday. They scored 5 runs in their last series averaging 2.5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 8 runs against them averaging 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Twins are coming into this game with a 25-16 record overall and they are 13-8 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 6 of their last 7 games and they are coming into this one on a 4 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Kansas City Royals completing the series sweep 3-0 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Tigers on Tuesday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday with the series opener still to be played on Monday. Chris Archer is the starting pitcher for them on Monday while Sonny Gray is on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 1-1 with a 3.48 ERA this season. His team won their last 3 straight games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 0 homers, and 0 BB with 5 strikeouts on 6 hits in 6 innings played against the Oakland Athletics. They scored 22 runs in their last series averaging just over 7 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 12 runs against them averaging 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Twins have been playing very well in their recent games and they have been having a great season so far. They are going up against a Tigers team that already has one of the worst records in the MLB and they have not been playing well in their recent games either. The Twins have Sonny Gray starting in this game and he has been getting better in his recent starts. The Twins have also been hitting the ball very well recently and have been playing very well at home. The Tigers have one of the worst teams in the MLB this season and they are even worse when playing on the road. The best bet in this game is on the Twins to win here at home.
