Rating: 8*

The Detroit Tigers will visit the Minnesota Twins for the opener of a three-game set Tuesday night, and this looks like a good spot to back the over.

Anibal Sanchez (6-12, 5.94 ERA) takes the ball for the Tigers. The 32 year old carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning and wound up allowing one hit while striking out eight when he took on the Royals his last time out. Sanchez has been far worse on the road where he has posted an 8.12 ERA this season and he gave up eight runs in four innings at Texas his last start away from home.

Kyle Gibson (5-7, 4.90) takes the ball for Minnesota. He went the distance at Atlanta his last time out but conceded three runs on eight hits and three walks. Gibson is always putting a lot of runners on base, and he has posted a 5.04 ERA in previous meetings with Detroit.

Neither team played yesterday, and the over is 4-1 in both the Tigers and the Twins last five games following an off day. Neither bullpen is to be relied upon (Detroit's 4.31 ERA and Minnesota's 4.25 ERA), so we should see plenty of runs scored off both starters and relievers.
