Detroit is tied for 12th in runs, 17th in batting average, 11th in on-base percentage, and 17th in slugging percentage. For pitching, they are 15th in ERA. Dillon Dingler leads the team in RBIs. The Tigers’ pitching staff needs to avoid the big inning and the offense will look to play with a lead for once. Two of their last three losses were close ones and the bats are due to break out.

On the mound for the Tigers is Framber Valdez. His two outings this season were quality starts and he has only given up one earned run.

Minnesota is tied for 12th in runs, 26th in batting average, 16th in on-base percentage, and 23rd in slugging percentage. For pitching, they are 16th in ERA. Bell leads the team in batting average and RBIs. The Twins’ bats are trending up, but they might not be able to get the big innings against Valdez. They will try to get to him early, before he settles in.

On the mound for the Twins is Bailey Ober. In both of his two outings this season, he pitched four innings and gave up three runs on four hits.

Detroit has lost three games in a row and Valdez will look to stop the skid. The Twins have managed to produce one big inning in each game of the series, but they’ll face a tougher challenge in Game 3. Ober has pitched well for Minnesota, though he hasn’t gone deep into games.
