Friday's AL Central showdown sees the Detroit Tigers host the Minnesota Twins in the first match of a four game series. The first match was due to take place on April 11th, but had to be rescheduled due to heavy rain in the area. The Tigers are currently holding a three game advantage over the Twins in the early stages of the season. However, both sides have lost three of their last four and will be keen to improve their form. 

The two franchises have met over 2,200 times previously, with Detroit emerging victorious in 51.7% of the games. In recent years, the contests have been extremely close, and the last 16 contests have resulted in 8 wins apiece. Perhaps significantly, the Twin have not scored 5+ runs in any of their last 6 games against the Tigers, highlighting an issue that has plagued the franchise in recent times.

Our Detroit Tigers vs Minnesota Twins Prediction

Everything is pointing towards this being a very close and low scoring matchup. The Tigers probably have the slight edge overall, but they are yet to hit top form this season and are eminently beatable. Of course, the Twins are hardly setting the world alight themselves, which makes picking a game winner very tricky. Unsurprisingly, there's very little value in the moneyline odds, but betting on the spread does appeal when you look at the generous odds of the Tigers winning by at least 2 runs. Our prediction for Tigers vs Twins is: Tigers (-1.5) to win, 2.72 at FanDuel.
