Daily MLB Lineup Tips
All Eyes on Tarik Skubal as Tigers Host Twins on Sunday Night Baseball
The national spotlight will be on Detroit on Sunday night as one of baseball’s best pitchers takes the mound. Tigers ace and reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal will get a primetime showcase as the Detroit Tigers host the division-rival Minnesota Twins in the rubber match of their three-game series.
The Ace’s Mentality
Tarik Skubal (9-2, 2.29 ERA) has been virtually unbeatable for the past two months and is a lock to make his second straight All-Star team. He has not lost a personal decision since the first two starts of the season and is a perfect 7-0 at home. Even when he doesn’t have his best stuff, like in his last start where he gave up four early runs, he finds a way to compete.
“Anytime you give up four early, you have to grind to keep your team in it,” Skubal said. “That’s just part of the game. Winning is fun. Winning cures everything. Bad day, good day, if you walk away with a win, it doesn’t really matter, right?”
Paddack’s Battle with the Big Inning
The Twins will counter with right-hander Chris Paddack (3-6, 4.64), who has been struggling with one major issue: the big inning. Paddack has been shelled for 18 earned runs over his last four starts, often because of one long inning where things unravel.
“I have to do a better job of not letting these long innings occur,” Paddack said. “I feel like I’ve been around enough to where I’ve got to be able to make those adjustments.” How a pitcher can mentally overcome a tendency to have a blow-up inning is a key topic in our expert betting guide.
A Lopsided Duel
On paper, this pitching matchup is a significant mismatch. Skubal is one of the most dominant pitchers in the game, while Paddack is searching for answers. This will be a major focus on the scores and odds board for this standalone national game. The Tigers’ offense, which put up 10 runs on Saturday, will look to provide their ace with plenty of support.
Tigers Get a Boost
The Tigers’ lineup got a little deeper this weekend with the return of Matt Vierling from the injured list. “I’m so grateful to be back,” an emotional Vierling said. As two MLB teams battle for a series win, the focus will be on the man on the mound for Detroit. To see if our experts think Skubal will dominate again, check out our daily MLB picks.
