The Minnesota Twins fell to the Detroit Tigers yesterday, 9-3, but look for them to bounce back today when they send the best in the business to the hill, Jake Odorizzi. Odorizzi’s numbers are off the Richter Scale. He is 8-2, with a 1.96 ERA, a 0.96 WHIP, and over his last 3, it gets even better, with a record of 2-0, a 0.00 ERA (that is not a typo) and a 0.67 WHIP. The Tigers will counter with the southpaw, Ryan Carpenter, and he has not been delivering. Carpenter is 1-2, with a 6.23 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. It could be an early exit for Carpenter. The Twins have launched a League-leading 121 homers, they are 5-1 in their last 6 road games against lefties, and 11-4 in their last 15 against Detroit overall.
