The #5 park in baseball for boosting walks, via the leading projection system (THE BAT), is LoanDepot Park.. The LoanDepot Park roof figures to be closed today, making conditions in this game 14° hotter than the average outdoor game on the slate today — favorable for offense.

There's no denying that both starting pitchers are off to rough starts, but Jack Flaherty can bounce back against a weak-hitting Twins side. Sure, they put up 8+ runs yesterday, but they are in the bottom third in hitting across the board out of the gates. Flaherty delivers a gem, and the Tigers hit Mick Abel hard.

The wind projects to be blowing out to LF at 9.1-mph in this contest, the 2nd-most-favorable of the day for hitters.. With a 1.79 difference between Nolan McLean's 10.65 K/9 and his 8.86 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it's safe to say he's been one of the most fortunate pitchers in baseball since the start of last season in terms of strikeouts and figures to see negative regression going forward.
