3 minMinnesota Twins vs. Detroit Tigers Predictions: Can Kenta Maeda Keep Up His Strong Season?
Kenta Maeda has been a huge surprise for the Minnesota Twins. He is pitching lights out as of late and has been one of the best starters in an already-stacked rotation. Today he faces the Tigers, a team who has been very bad against right-handed pitching. Can Kenta continue his strong season in a great matchup?

Minnesota Twins vs. Detroit Tigers Predictions
Kenta Maeda has been a great player to bet on as of late. He has been striking out a ton of batters and not giving up much contact on top of that. Kenta has hit his strikeout line in 4 straight games, 5 of his last 6 starts. The Tigers rank in the top 10 in strikeout percentage against right-handed arms, but today we aren't targeting his strikeouts. The prop I am looking at is his hits allowed, which is set at 5.5. Kenta has allowed under that line in 7 of his last 8 starts. The Tigers are bottom 5 in the MLB at wRC+, on-base percentage, batting average in both the year, and the last month. Maeda just faced the Tigers 6 weeks ago and he held them to just 3 hits all game, this is a great matchup for him.
