Minnesota Twins -1.5 over Detroit Tigers (+112)
To start off our mega parlay, I’m going with the Twins on the run line. Things haven't gone smoothly for Minnesota starter Kenta Maeda so far this season, but he may be due for some positive regression given that his xERA is at 4.55, much lower than his actual ERA. Maeda has been in the league for 7 years now and has consistently been a better pitcher than what he’s displayed so far this season, so I expect him to get back on track against a poor Tigers lineup in this one.
The Tigers have Joey Wentz getting the start and it’s been a difficult season for the Southpaw, as he holds an ERA of 6.82 and a WHIP of 1.56 WHIP in 13 starts this season. Wentz ranks in the 15th percentile for xBA, 9th percentile for xSLG, 31st percentile for strikeout percentage and 40th percentile for walk percentage. It's safe to say that he’s has struggled consistently this season so the Twins should have some potential opportunities at the plate against him. With Maeda due for positive regression and Wentz expected to keep struggling, I'll back the better pitcher and lineup with the Twins in this matchup.
