Detroit at Minnesota

A pair of disappointing teams opens a series in Minnesota tonight as the Tigers invade the Twin Cities. The Twins’ bad start can certainly be credited to playing 23 of their first 33 on the road. That is because they no longer have the dome, and weather in Minnesota in April isn't typically conducive for baseball. The Tigers are playing good baseball of late, but Porcello has struggled on the road, leaving them with a 7-15 mark in his last 22 road starts. The Twinkies respond big time after a long road trip of seven days or more, coming home and feasting to a 52-20 mark in the home stand lid-lifter. The Twins have also gotten good pitching following a loss leading to a 16-6 mark to the UNDER. Tigers 4-1 to the under in Porcello's last five starts on the road, and also 6-1 to the UNDER in his last seven vs. the Twins. Play Minnesota to win this series opener and the total to finish UNDER.
