They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just won their 3-game series against the Detroit Tigers 2-1 and they are playing the series opener of a 5-game series with the Tigers on Monday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Monday with the series finale of their series against the Kansas City Royals still to be played on Sunday. Sonny Gray is the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Dylan Bundy will be on the mound for them here on Monday. He is 3-2 with a 4.54 ERA this season. His team lost their last 4 straight games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 1 HR, and 1 BB with 6 Ks on 5 hits in 5.2 IP against the Detroit Tigers. They scored 15 runs in their last series averaging 5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 17 runs against them averaging just over 5 runs allowed per game with the final game of that series still to be played.

 

The Tigers are coming into this game with a 16-29 record overall and they are 10-14 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 2 game winning streak that they were on. They just lost their 3-game series against the Minnesota Twins 2-1 and they are playing the series opener of a 5-game series with the Twins on Monday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Monday with the series finale of their series against the Cleveland Guardians still to be played on Sunday. Elvin Rodríguez is the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while rookie pitcher Beau Brieske will be on the mound for them here on Monday. He is 0-4 with a 5.04 ERA this season. His team lost 5 of their last 6 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 0 homer, and 1 BB with 3 strikeouts on 6 hits in 4 innings played against the Minnesota Twins. They scored 5 runs in their last series averaging 2.5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 11 runs against them averaging 5.5 runs allowed per game with the final game of that series still to be played.

 

The Twins are coming into this game after a bad series against the Royals in their last one they were playing very well prior to that series and have been having a great season. They are going up against a Tigers team that has not been playing well recently and is one of the worst teams in the MLB this season. Bundy is starting for the Twins here and he has not been great but he will be looking to bounce back from his last bad start and has a much easier lineup to work with here. Brieske is pitching for the Tigers here and he has not been good this season, he is also pitching in his very first MLB season in his career so he is not a very polished pitcher yet. The Twins will be hungry to win after dropping 2 games to the Royals at home in their last series and they have the better pitching matchup here. The best bet here is on the Twins on the runline here.

"We know we gotta make that play." - Rocco Baldelli after an error in his team’s loss against the Royals on Saturday.

 

 

"He got some early-count outs. And that's the danger of being super aggressive against the guy. If he's going to get outs, he's going to stay in the game a long time. If you can get to him, then great. But he didn't walk a guy. We couldn't really put much together against him. He controlled today." - A.J. Hinch after his team’s loss against the Guardians on Saturday.
