DET vs MIN
Bonus Play OVER 9
Mike Pelfrey is 0-4 with a 6.33 ERA and a WHIP of 1.968 in four starts for the Tigers. He has struggled to do anything right striking out just nine while walking 12 over 21.3 innings of work. Pelfrey has pitched terribly this season, but has three unders because Detroit has scored just one run in his last three starts. Minnesota's offense is mediocre, but even they should be able to feast on the awful righty. Ricky Nolasco has a 5.02 ERA in two home outings for the Twins. Last year it was the best of times (5.3 IP 0 ER 7 K 3 BB) and the worst of times (3 IP 6 ER 6 H 2 K 4 BB) for Nolasco when it came to facing Detroit. Mike Aviles (8-14), Miguel Cabrera (3-11), Jose Iglesias (3-3), Ian Kinsler (7-17), Victor Martinez (5-11) and JD Martinez (5-15) all hit the Twins starter well. The Tigers have scored 37 runs in their last six games and have gone over in six of their last eight overall. These two have gone over in 13 of their last 21 meetings in Minnesota. I think this one does too.
