The Detroit Tigers are hot, winning 4 of their last 5, and will travel to Minneapolis tonight to open a 4-game set with the struggling Minnesota Twins. Not only are the Tigers as a whole on a roll, so is their expected starter, the young southpaw, Tarik Skubal, who is 4-0 over his last 7 starts with a 3.40 ERA. On the other side, Minnesota is expected to turn to lefty J.A. Happ to throw strikes and he has seen better days. Happ is 4-4 with a 6.09 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP. The Twins have lost 7 of their last 9 and are just 1-5 in their last 6 home games against a left-handed starter. Tigers stay hot.
