The Minnesota Twins take on the Detroit Tigers in the second game of a three-game series on the road on Saturday. After a 4-3 loss to the Texas Rangers on Thursday, Minnesota is now 11-19. Minnesota dropped the final three games of their four-game series with the Rangers. The Twins are six games behind the Cleveland Indians for first place in the American League Central.

Nelson Cruz, the designated hitter, leads the team in RBIs with 21. Jose Berrios will take the mound for the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. The right-hander has a 3-2 record with a 3.52 ERA, 42 strikeouts, and nine walks.

After a 12-9 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Thursday, the Tigers are now 9-23. The Tigers have lost seven of their last eight games and are in last place in the American League Central, nine games behind the first-place Cleveland Indians with only 22 games remaining in the regular season. Detroit's issues are on the mound and at the plate, as the team has the 29th worst ERA of 5.16 and the 29th worst batting average of.207.

Jeimer Candelario leads Detroit with a.298 batting average and 36 hits. Wilson Ramos, the catcher, leads the team in home runs with six, and center fielder Akil Baddoo leads the team in RBIs with 14. Robbie Grossman of the left field leads the league in on-base percentage (.366). On Saturday, Jose Urena will take the mound for the Tigers. The right-hander is 1-4 with a 3.53 ERA, 28 strikeouts, and 16 walks in 16 innings.

While Minnesota will win on the road against Detroit on Saturday, this bet is now closed. Three of Minnesota's last four road games have gone OVER, as have six of the Tigers' last seven overall. Jose Urena will take the mound for Detroit, and the right-hander has a 3.53 ERA and has walked 16 batters this season. The OVER has cashed in six of the Tigers' last seven grass games. The Minnesota Twins will win in the end, but our best bet is the OVER 11-3.
