Prediction
Given the pitching matchup between Tarik Skubal and Joe Ryan, combined with the Tigers' tendency to hit the Under in their games, this matchup leans towards a lower-scoring affair. Skubal has been dominant this season, and the Tigers' offense has struggled at times. On the other hand, the Twins have a potent offense but will be up against a strong pitcher in Skubal.
Pick: Under 6.5 runs
