Twins vs Tigers prediction

Game 1: Joe Ryan is the far and away more trustworthy pitcher, and he’s off to a fine start, allowing 4 runs in 11.1 innings while striking out 12 and walking 1. Kenta Maeda has been hittable these last couple of seasons, and he’s allowed 9 runs in 9 innings this season. Give me the Twins for the first game.

Game 2: Simeon Woods Richardson has just two MLB Games under his belt, so the jury is still out on what he is as a big league pitcher. Matt Manning has been fairly underacted these last couple of seasons, and he hasn’t allowed a run through 5.2 innings. It’s also difficult to sweep a doubleheader these days. Give me the Tigers in the second Game to force a split on Saturday afternoon.
