Key Storylines
Pitching Matchup
Jack Flaherty will take the mound for the Tigers on Wednesday. Flaherty has a 6–10 record and a 4.36 ERA this season. Flaherty is in the top-15 in MLB in strikeouts this season with 144 in 115.2 innings of work. But he has also allowed 19 home runs and will need to keep the ball in the yard in this game. The Twins have yet to decide on a starting pitcher for this matchup.
Key Players

- Minnesota Twins:
- Byron Buxton: Buxton has been on the 10-day IL and could return for this game. He leads the Twins in home runs, RBI, and batting average.
- Starting Pitcher: We do not have a confirmed starting pitcher for the Twins. Whoever it ends up being will be very important as they look to get the Twins off to a decent start.

Final Thoughts
The Tigers haven’t been as good lately as they were earlier in the season. But I’m not sure that the Twins have what they need to take advantage of that in this game. The lack of a clearly defined pitching plan for today could hurt the Twins and I expect the Tigers to take the rubber match and win this three-game set at home.
Every pick was wrong 😂😑
Yup, that’s how she goes in baseball sometimes. Thanks for reading, Dan!
