T.M. Selection: Twins (8* MONEY-MAKER).

After sweeping the Tigers in four straight before the All Star break at home, the Twins have lost the first two games of this series in Detroit. Both came in a double-header yesterday, falling 1-0 in the opener and 5-4 in the second. Minnesota is interestingly 7-2 in its last nine in trying to revenge two straight losses to an opponent. JA Happ (5-4, 5.90 ERA) comes in off his best start of the year just before the break, allowing three runs and striking out eight over seven innings in a victory over these very Tigers. It was his second quality start in his last three tries and I say the extra time off between starts will only help the veteran. Wily Peralta (2-1, 2.08) has been good over 26 innings of work, but I say regression is in order here, as he's simply in the wrong place at th ewrong time. Lay it, the play is Minnesota!

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Twins.
