The Twins send Kevin Slowey to the mound who is 8-0 at home this year with a sub par 4.07ERA. I think that tells you just how well the Twins have hit here at home and I expect nothing different form them here tonight. Slowey who has not pitched that well of late still should be in position against the Tigers who have a .194 average scoring 2.42 runs per 9 in their last 5 games. The reason I like Slowey so much in the situation is that he is on 5 days rest and the TWins are 12-1 in his last 13 starts on 5 days rest.

The Tigers send Luke French to the mound the rookie LHP will make his mlb debut in a tough spot here visiting the Twins. French has pitched in relief, but has never made a start. He is 4-4 with a 2.98ERA and a 1.11WHIP in AAA this year, but this is not AAA and he will face a very hot Twins lineup. The Twins vs. LHP last 5 .333average scoring 7.71 runs per 9 in their last 5 games. The Tigers are also 2-9 in their last 11 on turf.



**BONUS PLAY**
The Tigers have lost 75% of their road games by more than 1 run while the Twins have won 79% of their home games by more than 1 run.
