Money line (ML)
The TIGERS (-160) are worth a look in this series opener, although bettors will hope they didn’t leave their bats in Minneapolis. Detroit outscored the host Minnesota Twins 17-14 Wednesday.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The TIGERS -1.5 (+115) have won two straight, cashing on the run line as underdogs in each outing. They cashed as dogs on the run line in each of the past three, too.
Detroit is the favorite Thursday, and six of its last seven victories have been by 2 or more runs.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 10 (-110) is the slight lean, mainly due to Detroit’s offensive explosion Wednesday, as well as just not trusting Alexander in his second-career MLB start.
