    I initially thought Twins was the pick. On a second look at the game, Tigers ML is the pick, IMHO.

    No action for me but if I had to choose a side I would roll with the Tigers.

    Carl Pavano has always owned the Tigers, I'm going with the Twins.

    So hard to back Dontrelle Willis. If any other Tiger pitcher is on the hill today I'd take them. The D Train is a train wreck.

    That was a terrible call on the Span drop. He clearly made the catch and dropped the ball on the transfer. Ump not even close to being in a good position to make the call.

    Pavano was touched for 7 runs in his last outing here.

    The total has gone OVER in 4 of Minnesota's last 6 games when playing Detroit
    The total has gone OVER in 5 of Detroit's last 6 games at home
    The total has gone OVER in 4 of Detroit's last 5 games
    Detroit is 6-3 SU in its last 9 games at home

    Tigers are 8-1 in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
    Tigers are 4-1 in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600.
    Tigers are 6-2 in their last 8 during game 3 of a series.

    My point is that trends don't mean anything in this game.

    I haven't looked at the weather yet, but I will tell you that the umpire in 5 games this year is 1-4 under. Willis is tied for 12th in inducing ground balls into double plays and Minnesota hits a lot of ground balls.

    Just some information to add to the pot.

    I'm thinking under but Willis is so bad.

    over seems like a much easier call than picking a side in this one, with Pavano and Willis going real hard not to think both these teams put some runs up today

    The point of trends meaning nothing is true to some extent. I mean if one digs deep enough they will find numbers that can contradict other numbers. It just depends on what numbers you believe hold more weight. That being said I still like the twins due to the fact that over the past few years Pavano pitches pretty well against the Tigers (4-1 with an ERA of 3.00) whereas Willis holds an ERA over 7 vs. the Twins. Picking the Twins is an opinion of mine and you should decide for yourself what you like. I know that I hold a biast opinion for the Twins since I live in Minneapolis and follow them religiously. That being said I realize this is an in division Rivalry game and more than likely anything can and probably will happen. BOL to those of you out there that wager on this match up!!

    Twins are clearly the better team pitching wise, and think that twins have better bullpen also

    Willis the gas can will give up 8 runs today watch

    Prediction Minnesota 8 Detroit 5

    Phiilip Dontre Willis has a 7.20 era at home only 1 start but got rocked at home against KC

    Minnesota is no doubt better then KC

    Also he has a 7 era against the twins
