You can bet the Twins-Tigers series online Monday through Wednesday.
Minnesota is 3-10 in their last 13 meetings in Detroit while seven of the last ten games in this series have resulted in nine or more runs.
The Twins have scored eight or more runs in four of their last six games overall while the Tigers have allowed six or more runs in their last ten games overall. Excluding the last three home games (each against the Royals), Detroit had scored five or more runs in six of their previous nine games.
For Monday night’s game it should be noted that the Tigers have won their last 6 games versus the Twins and have won five of Matt Boyd's 7 career starts at home in Detroit. Despite a lackluster season thus far, Boyd has only permitted five runs at home in fifteen innings pitched. None of those games have gone OVER the current total of 10.5.
Ricky Nolasco has been beaten up badly by these Tigers, allowing 51 hits off of 133 at bats and three homers for an average of .383.
Nolasco earned a win his last start against the Rangers but six of the last ten games he has started in have gone OVER the current total.
This could be a barn burner so take the OVER 10.5
The Twins were coming in at +128 while Detroit was coming in at -139 for Game One of this series Monday night.
The Tuesday night game featured a line of Detroit -145 and Minnesota +130 with a total of 10.
Anibel Sanchez has only allowed this Twins lineup to hit 24 in 99 at bats with zero home runs.
His return to the rotation hasn't gone well, and Sanchez has now given up 12 runs in 8.1 innings over his last two appearances though.
Tommy Milone, meanwhile, has gotten crushed by these Tigers, allowing 25 hits on 71 at bats with two homers.
Milone is coming off two victories yet the last three games he has started for Minnesota have yielded well over the current total runs of 10. Previous to the two victories, Milone allowed nine runs in just over six innings pitched and three runs in three innings pitched the prior game.
TAKE THE OVER 10 FOR TUESDAY’S GAME
