This is a 10* on UNDER

A new series starts Thursday with two teams at/near the bottom of the AL Central. Minnesota has been one of the biggest disappointments of the first half. They are in last place with a 35-50 record and could end up being sellers at the trade deadline. Only Arizona, who is having a disastrous year, has dropped more units at the betting window than have the Twins. They’ve lost seven of nine including each of the past two days to the White Sox. Detroit has been surprisingly competitive of late with wins in six of its last eight. They just beat Texas 5-3 yesterday afternoon. The thing about the Tigers though is you can’t really trust their offense. They are down among the lowest scoring American League teams. Lucky for them then that the Twins have scored just one run each of their last two games. The respective starters for Thursday - Tarik Skubal for Detroit and J.A. Happ for Minnesota - don’t exactly have the most sparkling numbers. But we expect both to pitch well in this spot. Both are lefties. Neither team is great vs. left-handed pitching. The Tigers are on a 10-3-2 run to the Under when facing a team that scored two runs or less in its last game. After a recent offensive surge and the Over going 7-0-2 their past nine games, they are due for a bit of a decline. Play on UNDER
