This is a 7* on MINNESOTA

The last eight times these teams have played, the home team has won. That means trouble for Detroit, who just got swept in Kansas City over the weekend and has now dropped seven straight overall on the road. They were swept here in Minnesota right before the break. Playing at home, they won seven in a row coming out of the break. But the sweep in Kansas City showed this is still the “same old Tigers.” Minnesota has lost 8 of 11 since the break including three games in Detroit. But the success that the home team has had in this season series is likely to continue Monday. The Tigers are 19-32 on the road (55-103 L3 seasons!), giving up 5.5 runs/game. Manning lost all three of his road starts for the team and not looked good in doing so with an 8.56 ERA. After being held in check the last two days, the Twins offense has to get rolling here. Pineda has been pretty good at home (3.75 ERA, 1.17 WHIP) and beat the White Sox here his last start. The Tigers are on a 27-55 run in series openers. We know the Twins have been the opposite of profitable in 2021, but this line speaks for itself. Play on MINNESOTA
