Despite last night’s 6-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park, the 60-55 Minnesota Twins are still 5-1 in their last 6 games overall and are 4½ games ahead of the Cleveland Guardians for the lead in the AL Central. Tonight, in the third game of their 4-game set with Detroit, Minnesota will send Bailey Ober to the hill. Ober is 6-5 with a very respectable ERA of 3.21 and a 1.05 WHIP. The 50-63 Tigers are expected to counter with Alex Faedo. The Twins should be able to get to this guy. Faedo is 2-4 with a 5.80 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP. The Tigers’ bats came alive last night but they are still averaging under 4 runs per game with a team batting average of around .233.
