AMEDEUS' MLB GOLD STRIKE!
(MLB) Twins (MIN) vs. Tigers (DET),
Money Line: -112.00 Tigers (DET) (Home)
Result: Win
The Twins are coming into this game with a 57-45 record this season and they are coming off of a 9-3 win against the Tigers on Friday. They are going up against a Tigers team that is 51-54 this season, but despite being under .500 this season, the Tigers have been heating up recently as they have won 6 of their last 10 games. Their pitching has been very good in these games as well and they have one of the better bullpens in the league so they are not going to let the Twins offense go off on them again here, especially with their starter in this game. Tarik Skubal is starting for the Tigers in this game and he is 11-3 with a 2.34 ERA this season. He has been pitching very well recently as he has allowed just 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 3 as well as 4 of his last 5 starts. He has been pitching this well all season and he has been going very deep into his recent starts, racking up a lot of strikeouts as well. The Twins scored 9 runs on Friday but they will have a much tougher time trying to score runs in this game and the Tigers have not been bad on offense recently either. They usually get up for Skubal as well, winning their last game with him 8-2. Joe Ryan is starting for the Twins in this game and he is 6-6 with a 3.65 ERA this season. He has been very inconsistent this season and has been awful in his recent starts. He has allowed 9 earned runs total in his last 2 starts and he has also allowed at least 3 earned runs in 4 of his last 5 starts. He has been worse on the road recently as well, allowing at least 4 earned runs in 2 of his last 3 as well as 3 of his last 5 road starts. The Tigers are going to get up for this game with Skubal starting and they are going to have a response at home to that 9-3 loss on Friday. Their pitching will be much better in this game to shut down the Twins offense and the Tigers will score the runs needed to win with Ryan pitching very poorly in recent starts. The Tigers will win this game.
