The Tigers are coming into this game with a 14-27 record overall and they are 5-14 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 4 of their last 5 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just split their 2-game series against the Cleveland Guardians 1-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Twins on Wednesday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Wednesday with the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday. Beau Brieske is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday while Rony García will be on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 0-0 with a 2.57 ERA this season. His team lost 7 of their last 8 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 1 HR, and 1 BB with 6 Ks on 1 hit in 2.2 IP against the Tampa Bay Rays. 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 26-16 record overall and they are 14-8 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 7 of their last 8 games and they are coming into this one on a 5 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 series finale of a 3-game series with the Tigers on Wednesday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Wednesday with the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday. Sonny Gray is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday while Dylan Bundy is on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 3-2 with a 5.14 ERA this season. His team lost their last 3 straight games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 2 BB with 3 strikeouts on 2 hits in 3 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 are coming into this game as a massive favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing well in their recent games and have been starting to heat up again in these recent games at home. They are going up against a Tigers team that has not been playing well recently and has been awful on the road this season. The Tigers also have a reliever starting in this game for them and he has not pitched badly this season but he has not played in a lot of innings either and this will likely be a bullpen game for them. Bundy is starting for the Twins here and he has been decent this season but he is coming off of a very good game and he has been a reliable pitcher for them so far this season. The Twins are playing much better overall though and they will likely keep on winning their games at home against these bad teams. The best bet here is on the Twins to win this game on the runline.

"He's not going up there trying to maybe hit one in the second deck. He's trying to do something else. It was just a find-a-way kind of game, and he found a way." - Rocco Baldelli on Urshela after his team’s win against the Tigers on Monday.
