Detroit at Minnesota

It seems that the more the Detroit Tigers lose, the more the oddsmakers stick with them. Here they are as a road favorite again with a team that is now four games under .500, and worse than the Twins at 11-21 over their last 32. They also have a young Drew Smyly who after several good starts has lost his edge and in his last two trips to the mound. He did not get past five innings in either of his last two starts, allowing 8 runs in 9.1 innings of work. The Tigers have now lost five straight in the weak AL Central, and the Twins have been dynamite off a seven day or longer road trip, opening up at home by going 53-26 in their last 79. Play on Minnesota.
