Our Detroit Tigers vs Minnesota Twins Prediction

Averaging 5.0 runs per game in their last five games, the Tigers are the overwhelming favorite to close out their series with Minnesota on a winning note. Detroit has tapped Chris Paddack to start on Sunday, hoping the pitcher can sustain his terrific form after surrendering one run in three of his last four starts.

Minnesota hasn’t announced its starter yet for Sunday’s game. However, for a team that averages only 2.5 runs per game and gives up a 4.50 ERA in their last five starts, the task of beating the No.1 team in their division will still be daunting anyway, regardless of which pitcher they will be fielding in the series finale.
