Detroit Tigers Form

Detroit head to Minnesota having made a solid start to the week with two wins in three games in Chicago.

The Tigers went into this roadtrip after an underwhelming run of home games that saw them go 3-3.

They began that sequence at home to tonight’s opponents Minnesota, winning 6-3, but they were unable to back that up as they lost the next two meetings, 6-3 and 9-4.

Detroit then fared slightly better against the Los Angeles Angels, sandwiching a 7-4 defeat with 6-5 and 9-5 victories.

The Tigers then embarked on this seven-game road trip with a trip to face the Chicago White Sox, sandwiching a 9-6 defeat with narrow 2-1 and 1-0 wins.

Minnesota Twins Form

Minnesota return home from New York having avoided being swept by the Yankees in the ‘Big Apple’.

The Twins began August with back-to-back defeats in Cleveland, losing 3-2 and 5-4 to the Guardians, but they were able to avoid being swept as they took the finale 5-4.

They failed to back that up in the series opener in Detroit as they fell 6-3, but they did rebound quickly with 6-3 and 9-4 wins over the Tigers.

Minnesota briefly returned home after that series and sandwiched a 2-0 defeat to Kansas City with 9-4 and 5-3 victories.

The Twins then went back out on the road and suffered 6-2 and 9-1 defeats to the Yankees, before rallying to take last night’s meeting 4-1.

Verdict

Detroit’s form has been underwhelming recently especially on the road.

The Tigers have lost a couple of meetings with Minnesota this month too, so give us the Twins and the free runs in this one.
