Minnesota at Detroit

The Detroit Tigers are quickly separating themselves from the pack in the AL, as they have moved to 20-11 on the season despite the 2-1 loss here last night. Detroit has the pitching to slow down the Twins' hitters, but despite the 1 run allowed last night by the Twins they simply can't maintain that level on the mound against a rock solid lineup. Max Scherzer is at it again, and has allowed 2 or fewer runs in all but one start and is 4-1 with a 1.71 ERA on the season. Scherzer dominated the Twins last season as he was 3-0 against them with a 1.77 ERA, and nothing has changed this season. The Twins struggle against top pitching where they are 27-69 in their last 96 when facing a pitcher with a WHIP of 1.15 or less. The Tigers are 43-12 behind Scherzer in his last 55 home starts. Make the play on Detroit.
