💰 Best Twins vs. Tigers predictions: Sunday Night Baseball

Here are my best Twins vs. Tigers Sunday Night Baseball predictions for today's MLB matchup with my pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale. Be sure to check out the rest of our MLB picks along with our guide on how to bet on the MLB.

📊 Who will win today's Sunday Night Baseball matchup?

As of Sunday morning, the Tigers are favored to beat the Twins in today's MLB matchup at 7 p.m. ET from Comerica Park in Detroit. With arguably the best pitcher in the league, Tarik Skubal, toeing the rubber, I'm predicting the Tigers will beat the Twins as -290 moneyline favorites.

Skubal won't have to do it all himself, though, if you read our home run predictions tonight, as we're backing a Tigers slugger to go yard.

🎯 Best Twins vs. Tigers player props for Sunday Night Baseball

Tarik Skubal enters this game on a four-start winning streak, and the Tigers have won 10 of the last 11 games with him on the mound. The best way to mitigate Detroit’s steep -290 moneyline odds is with our best Twins vs. Tigers player prop for Sunday Night Baseball that parlays Skubal’s strikeouts with a Detroit win.

Skubal is the odds-on favorite to win a second consecutive Cy Young Award based on how he stacks up against the rest of the American League’s pitchers.

Entering this series, he was tied for second in wins (nine), sixth in ERA (2.29), fourth in innings pitched (102), second in strikeouts (125), first in WHIP (0.87), and eighth in opponents’ average (.205).

The ceiling is high for Skubal’s strikeouts when facing a Twins lineup that strikes out at the seventh-highest rate against lefties (24.8%). Skubal has started five other games against teams that strike out more than Minnesota, and he reached the eight-strikeout plateau in three of those five starts.

Given that Skubal is coming off a year where he went 2-0 with a 2.50 ERA, 0.889 WHIP, and 10.0 K/9 rate in three starts against the Twins, there is great value in him earning another victory while recording at least eight strikeouts.

This small two-leg parlay can be found under FanDuel’s “Starting Pitcher Performance Doubles” category.

Best player prop: Tarik Skubal 8+ strikeouts/ Detroit Tigers to win (+110 via FanDuel)

1️⃣ NRFI/YRFI bet for Sunday Night Baseball: NRFI (-145 via BetMGM)

The NRFI is 8-0 in Minnesota’s last eight games against American League opponents, including cashing in yesterday’s game that had 15 total runs. Before his previous start, Skubal had pitched to a 1.20 ERA in the first inning this year, which has me backing the NRFI as part of our Twins vs. Tigers best bets for Sunday Night Baseball.

Mike started in the sports writing industry in July 2019, and gained a lot of followers in his first year after finishing with the No. 2 overall record in an annual NFL betting competition, which made picks against the spread, and from an Over/Under and moneyline perspective. Mike is an avid fan of the NFL, MLB, tennis, and all college sports. In his opinion, March Madness is the best sporting event there is, and he's especially euphoric starting with conference tournament time in college basketball. Mike's a big advocate of "fading the public" and making plays that are contrarian, constantly citing that "there are reasons why they have those big shiny buildings in Las Vegas." When making wagers, Mike always scours the best odds at all of the major sports betting sites, where he mostly sifts through DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and bet365. He's tried several others and is of the firm belief that bettors should not just stick to one sportsbook, as there is always likely better value to be had with the same wager. In addition, while Mike received his undergraduate degree from Villanova University, he has no issue betting against the Wildcats when it comes to college basketball wagering, and suggests other bettors should always put their “head” before their “hearts.”
