Minnesota at Detroit

Minnesota has lost 96 and 98 games the last two seasons. They opened up the season with some false promise, and have now begun to level off into the poor team that they have been, and still are. The Twins are mired in a 10-game losing streak, and finished last night's contest with just one hit. They are averaging 2.8 runs in the skid, while the Tigers have been producing runs at a high-octane rate. The Tigers have put up 37 runs in their last five, and have also averaged over 6 runs per game in their last 14. That puts a lot of separation between these teams heading into this game. The Twins are just 1-10 in their last 11 vs. a righthander, while the Tigers sit at 20-4 in Fister's last 24 starts at home. Play Detroit on the runline.
