| Detroit Tigers vs. Minnesota Twins Preview - September 1st |
|
While the season is quietly drawing to a close for the Detroit Tigers, it is the Minnesota Twins who hold a slight lead in the American League's Central division over the Chicago White Sox. The Twins have really turned up the pressure on the White Sox during the second half of the season, and it appears as though they will be getting the automatic bid to the Playoffs that comes with winning the division. However, it is important to note that there is one entire month of baseball left to be played, and the Tigers have been playing much more spirited baseball as of late. For this reason, betsfreebets.com is going to take the Detroit Tigers on the road as their free wager selection for the first day of September. It has been a very good season for Miguel Cabrera, who became the first Major Leaguer to go over the 100 RBI mark. His .341 average and 31 HR makes him one of the top hitters in all of baseball, and he continues to prove that he has the potential to be one of the greatest hitters the game has ever seen. Austin Jackson has also had quite a bit of success in his first year in the big leagues. After coming over in the Curtis Granderson deal, Jackson has hit .308 this season while stealing 19 bases. The problem for the Tigers has been inconsistent starting pitching, which has plagued them for numerous seasons now. Jeremy Bonderman and Rick Porcello just haven't been able to find their groove the entire year, and it has cost the Tigers some victories in the process. It shouldn't be a problem, though, on this Wednesday night as Detroit comes into this game as the free bet favorites against the Minnesota Twins. Joe Mauer has proven this season that he was absolutely worth every penny the Twins gave him in his extension this past offseason. While Mauer has only hit 8 HR, he is batting .330 and is an absolute wall behind home plate. He, also, has one of the strongest arms of any catcher in baseball, and he continues to amaze with how fleet of foot he is on the base paths. The reason bettors are advised to place their wagers on the Tigers in this game is due to the lack of quality starting pitching that manager Ron Gardenhire has been receiving. While Francisco Liriano and Carl Pavano have pitched quite well this season, there just hasn't been enough consistency to warrant selecting them as the free wager winner. Instead, you are advised to take Detroit to win this game at Target Field. With the season winding down to a close, it is imperative that Minnesota gets the best games that they can out of their pitching. If there is one chink in the Minnesota Twins' armor, it is the bottom of their rotation not producing like a Playoff contending team should. However, you can't deny that the Twins are one of the best managed teams in baseball and always come to the ballpark ready to play. In this situation, however, the Tigers just look like the free bet play to make that comes courtesy of betsfreebets.com due to how they matchup against the Twins pitching staff. |
