Game 1 of the Tigers-Twins series in Minneapolis was a close one, ultimately won by Detroit.

The Tigers were favored at -205 because Skubal took the mound. The Cy Young Award candidate had a rough third inning against the Twins, allowing a home run to Julien in a three-run inning, but Skubal still managed to navigate his start without further incident until the seventh inning, striking out three Twins. Finnegan, the new addition to the Tigers bullpen, got outs and struck out two; Holton also got outs, as did Montero, who ended up earning the W in extra innings. On the hitting side, Green hit a key home run, his 28th of the season.

On Friday, the Twins will then face 41-year-old veteran Charlie Morton, who will pitch Game 2 for the Tigers. Morton is coming off a curious start, striking out seven straight players against the Angels in a 10-strikeout start, while still allowing six earned runs.

Our Detroit Tigers vs Minnesota Twins Prediction

The Twins were one of the teams that most quickly positioned themselves as sellers at the trade deadline, letting go of influential players like Duran, Bader, and reliever Jax. This drew criticism that the Twins had given up on their 2025 season too quickly, but manager Baldelli repeatedly says his team hasn't conceded anything. Pierson Ohl will pitch for the Twins on Friday, a rookie who already faced the Tigers and allowed four ER in a game the Twins nonetheless won. Our prediction for Twins vs Tigers is: Over 9.5 runs.
