Minnesota at Detroit

At 41-20, the Minnesota Twins have become the team to beat in the AL Central. The Tigers have their best option on the mound tonight behind Matthew Boyd (5-4, 3.01 ERA), and he has averaged eight strikeouts per contest over his last four appearances. Once promising starter Michael Pineda has become an oft-injured journeyman and he will come off the IL to pitch this game. Pineda has a 5.34 ERA on the season and has become the Twins worst pitching option in the rotation. Minnesota just dropped two out of three vs. Cleveland in a big series. Play on Detroit.
