Betting on the Tigers This Weekend Gets Tricky
Summary
Remember when I predicted that Twins manager Ron Gardenhire would be the first to lose his managerial position in 2006? Well, that hasn't happened yet. As the Twins gear up for a pivotal series, it's clear Gardenhire is doing just fine.Article
Did I say that Twins manager Ron Gardenhire would be the first baseball manager ousted in 2006? It turns out I was wrong. Gardenhire is thriving as the Twins prepare for a crucial three-game series in the Twin Cities.
Minnesota, with a record of 59-41, has been on an impressive streak, winning 34 of their last 42 games since June 8. This has allowed them to slash an 11-game wild card deficit to just half a game.
Manager Ron Gardenhire remarked, "We're just playing really good baseball. People keep talking about the streak, but streaks don’t last this long."
The Twins recently swept the struggling Chicago White Sox with a 7-4 victory, moving them close behind the New York Yankees, who will start a three-game series against Tampa Bay.
The Tigers, led by veteran skipper Jim Leyland, face a challenge as they encounter the American League's rising star, rookie pitcher Francisco Liriano. Although Liriano struggled against the Tigers in two relief appearances earlier this season, he has since excelled as a starter, becoming a strong contender for the Cy Young Award with an 11-2 record and a 1.59 ERA in 13 starts.
Interestingly, Minnesota has struggled against Detroit this season, with a 2-7 record and being outscored 64-25. When the Twins visited Comerica Park from April 28-30, they were outscored 33-1. The Tigers hold the best record in the major leagues at 68-33 and lead the AL Central by 8 1/2 games over Minnesota and Chicago.
Pitching remains a question mark for many contending teams, and tonight, the Tigers are pinning their hopes on Zach Miner. Miner has faced difficulties, lasting only 6 2/3 innings and allowing 10 earned runs in two starts since the break. Previously, he had an impressive 6-1 record with a 2.57 ERA, not allowing more than three runs per game.
In a recent game against Oakland, Detroit gave Miner a five-run lead in the first inning, only for him to concede five runs in the second inning and exit after 2 1/3 innings in a 9-5 loss.
Detroit has historically struggled in Minnesota, losing 9 of the last 12 games there. They’re undoubtedly the underdog tonight!
