Cole Sands is the starting pitcher for them in game 2 on Tuesday while Bailey Ober will be on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 1-1 with a 3.25 ERA this season. His team won 5 of their 6 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 0 HRs, and 1 BB with 5 Ks on 5 hits in 3 IP against the Kansas City Royals. They scored 22 runs in their last series averaging just over 5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 20 runs against them averaging 5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Tigers are coming into this game with a 18-29 record overall and they are 12-14 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 4 of their last 5 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Cleveland Guardians 2-1 and they are playing the 4th game of a 5-game series with the Twins on Wednesday.

Joey Wentz is the starting pitcher for them in game 2 on Tuesday while Tarik Skubal will be on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 3-2 with a 2.44 ERA this season. His team won 3 of their last 4 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 earned runs, 0 homers, and 1 BB with 5 strikeouts on 5 hits in 7 innings played against the Cleveland Guardians. They scored 7 runs in their last series averaging just over 2 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 12 runs against them averaging 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Tigers are coming into this game as an underdog with the current betting odds. The Tigers have not been playing well this season but they have been playing better recently and they are a much better team at home as well. They already won the series opener here and they have Skubal starting in this game who is their best pitcher in their rotation. They have had a lot of success with him starting recently and he has been pitching very well all season. The Twins have been playing alright recently but they have also been very inconsistent in their games and they are missing quite a few players from their lineup here. The Tigers have been pitching well and this is a game they can steal from the Twins at home. The best bet here is on the Twins to win this game.

"That's probably the biggest play of the game, and it ended up with a young guy who isn't very experienced at first base. It might be the toughest play for an infielder, but there are tricks you learn to help you make it. José doesn't have that knowledge yet, and it costs us there.” - Rocco Baldelli after his team’s loss against the Tigers on Monday.

 

 

"We put the ball in play, and even though it wasn't always hard contact, we were creating action. There was a lot to like today, and that's where it starts.” - A.J. Hinch after his team’s win against the Twins on Monday.
