Detroit at Minnesota

The Tigers are up two games on the struggling Twins in the standings. The Twins have a good chance here at home vs. Matt Manning. Manning has four career starts, all of which have come to this season, and opponents have struck for 27 runs in those starts. The Twins turn to Kenta Maeda tonight, who has struggled some this season but owns an 80-71 career mark in his 151 starts. The good news is Maeda has beaten the Tigers three straight since the start of last season. He has held the Tigers in check as his last four starts dating back to the beginning of last season shows the Tigers have totaled three runs or fewer in three of them. The better news is the Tigers are a woeful 202-974 in their last 1176 games when they are held to three runs or less. Make the play on Minnesota.
