Twins vs Tigers prediction

My Twins vs Tigers best bet: Jack Flaherty Over 6.5 strikeouts (-106 at FanDuel)

Although Detroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty has produced inconsistent results in 2025, he has routinely dominated in the strikeout department.

Flaherty ranks in the 63rd percentile in chase rate, 78th in whiff rate, and 90th in strikeout rate. He has recorded seven or more strikeouts in six of his past seven outings. Over that span, Flaherty boasts a 3.38 ERA.

That success is likely to continue vs. the Minnesota Twins, a team against whom he holds a 3.65 ERA over their past two meetings, striking out at least eight both times.

From the other perspective, this current Twins roster owns a fade-worthy 30.8% strikeout rate and 39% whiff rate against Flaherty.

Kerry Carpenter home run

If Flaherty puts together another strong performance on the mound, there’s a strong correlation with a Detroit win. However, the Tigers will still need to produce some offense.

Enter Kerry Carpenter, who has hit five home runs over the past 10 games.
