The Twins, who were largely dismantled at the trade deadline and trotted out a pitching staff full of rookies, beat the Detroit Tigers 9-4 on Wednesday afternoon at Comerica Park. The loss capped a dispiriting series for the Tigers (66-50), who dropped two of three to the Twins (54-60) and have now lost six of their last seven series.

Detroit still sits atop the American League Central, seven games up on the Cleveland Guardians. The Twins remain fourth, 6.5 games out of a Wild Card spot. Time: 1:10 p.m. ET

The Detroit Tigers host the Minnesota Twins in the final matchup of this three-game series at Comerica Park. My Twins vs. Tigers predictions are bullish on Jack Flaherty's ability to rack up strikeouts against Minnesota's depleted lineup. Read on for my MLB picks for Wednesday, August 6.

Its Wednesday, August 6 and the Twins (53-60) are in Detroit to take on the Tigers (66-49). Pierson Ohl is slated to take the mound for Minnesota against Jack Flaherty for Detroit. These teams have traded 6-3 decisions over the past two days.
