Today's matchup is between the Detroit Tigers (18-20) and the Minnesota Twins (25-17). The Tigers have won 1 of their last 5 games and the Twins have won 5 of their last 6 games.
For the Tigers, Michael Fulmer will take the mound who is 0-0 this season pitching a 7.27 ERA, a 7.41 FIP, a .426 wOBA, a 92.8 mph average exit veloicty, and a 1.90 whip on 17.1 innings pitched.
For the Twins, Michael Pineda will take the mound who is 0-0 this season pitching a 3.00 ERA, a 2.31 FIP, a .261 wOBA, a 86.8 mph average exit veloicty, and a 1.17 whip on 17.1 innings pitched.
On the hitting side the Tigers have a .312 wOBA, a .310 OBP, and 47 home runs. The Twins have a .305 wOBA, a .312 OBP, and 55 home runs.
I have to stick with the Twins here, they've been on a roll and Pineda is the clear cut better starter here. I expect Michael Fulmer to give up a couple home runs in this one.
