The Minnesota Twins have the White Sox and Indians breathing down their neck for the AL Central lead and had better get back on track after losing two straight. Tonight they will have that opportunity when they visit Comerica Park to open a 4-game set with the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers have been playing better lately but are expected to send lefty Matthew Boyd to the hill. The once dominant Boyd has been struggling this year with a record of 0-4, a bloated ERA of 8.48 and a 1.74 WHIP. The expected starter for the Twins has been just the opposite. Randy Dobnak is 5-1 with an ERA of only 1.78 and a 1.02 WHIP. Despite being riddled with injuries, the Twins are still 6-4 in their last 10 and have had the Tigers’ number at Comerica, going 20-7 in their last 27.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MINNESOTA TWINS
