They are not actually the top-scoring teams in the league, with the Twins ranked 20th and the Tigers 29th. However, both teams have been putting more runs on the board as of late with Minnesota scoring four or more in four of their last five and Detroit scoring five or more in nine of their last 11 games. These two squads met last week in a four-game series in Minnesota and three of the four games went over the total. The only game that did go Under was the one that Joey Wentz started, and he pitched well going six innings and allowing two runs on two hits. That said, his form has been inconsistent, and he does bring an 0-2, 6.29 ERA amassed in seven home starts. Kenta Maeda gets the ball for the Twins, and he’ll be making his first start since April coming off an injury. Take the Over 9 -105.
