Detroit are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games at home.

Detroit are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games when playing at home against Minnesota.

Prediction

The Twins have won 7 of their 8 series this month but they have lost the last 4 games when Bundy has started although he has been good against the Tigers in his career. The Tigers are still the worst offense in the MLB and are averaging less than 3 runs per game. They have lost 6 of 7 games when Brieske has started. The Twins are the better team overall and are 5-1 against the Tigers this season. Take the Twins.

PICK: Twins ML (-165)
