Detroit Tigers
Money Line Pick
MIN Twins Win(+110)

The Detroit Tigers rolled up an 8-5 win in Saturday’s game as short ‘dogs, moving closer to a 4-game road sweep. The Tigers have outscored the Twins 19-8 in the first 3 games of this series, while Detroit has won 6 of the past 7 outings. On the road, the Tigers have won 4 in a row while going 5-2 in the past 7 away from home. Now, Detroit looks to cap off the 4-game sweep against a familiar face for the Twins, RHP Chris Paddack. Minnesota traded Paddack to Detroit prior to the non-waiver trade deadline on July 31.

Paddack is just 1-4 with a 4.34 ERA across 47.2 IP across nine starts at Target Field this season, all as a member of the home team. He has already faced his former teammates once, falling 6-3 at Comerica Park on Aug. 5, as he coughed up four runs and 6 hits with 2 homers in just 4.0 innings. Since a quality start in his team debut on July 30, a win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, Paddack has allowed 5 runs across 9.2 IP in two starts in August, posting a 4.66 ERA. Let’s back the Twins to salvage the series finale, avoiding the 4-game sweep.
