Detroit Tigers vs Minnesota Twins Prediction

I’ll stay with the Twins. Ober is doing fairly well lately. In his last three starts combined Ober is 2-1 with six earned runs over 19.0 innings on 15 hits and two walks. Another quality start would set the Twins up very well in this finale.

On Saturday Minnesota had a very early 2-0 lead but couldn’t score after the first inning. Royce Lewis had a two-run homer to account for both the RBI but not much else happened offensively. The Twins bats need to get moving Sunday in the finale.
