Tigers vs Twins MLB Betting Preview
Tigers vs Twins Picks
Taj Bradley has thrown the ball well through two starts this season (3.73 xERA, 3.51 xFIP, 18.6% K-BB%).
However, even if he maintains an above-average level of quality, it still pales in comparison to his opponent and two-time reigning AL Cy Young winner, Tarik Skubal (2.71 xERA, 2.66 XFIP, 27.8% K-BB% in 2025).
Additionally, the Twins' bullpen is also far more taxed than the Tigers', as they have used Kody Funderburk, Anthony Banda, and Cody Laweryson three times in four days, and Taylor Rogers, Eric Ozre, and Justin Topa are also marked as fatigued but available, given their recent usage.
Conversely, only Drew Anderson should be out for the Tigers.
Pick: Tigers ML (-180 or Better)
