Tigers 5, Twins 2

PASS.

The Tigers (-285) are far too expensive to consider here, but with Skubal on the mound, the Twins (+230) are far too risky as well. Avoid a moneyline play.

BET TIGERS -1.5 (-125).

The Tigers have been on fire in Skubal’s last 4 starts. They have outscored opponents 27-8 and have covered the spread in each of those victories. Detroit has covered in 11 straight wins, so if it wins, it has shown it can cover.

The Twins are just 3-6 over their last 9 contests, and they have lost 4 of those 6 games by multiple runs. They are just 1-6 in the last 7 games that Paddack has started. Considering those trends, back TIGERS -1.5 (-125).

BET UNDER 7 (-110).

The Twins are 2-2 O/U in their last 4 games and are 37-40-6 O/U on the season. They have allowed 1 or fewer runs in 3 of their last 4 games as well.

The Tigers have their ace on the mound and are 2-4 O/U in Skubal’s last 6 showings. They have gone 1-3 O/U in their previous 4 games as well. Back UNDER 7 (-110).
