Taking the mound for the Twins is righty Chris Paddack, who has been decent so far, with a 3-6 record, along with a 4.64 ERA and 60 total strikeouts.

At the plate, the likes of Byron Buxon, Trevor Larnach, Ty France and Carlos Correa have led the way for the visitors.

For the hosts, ace Tarik Skubal makes his latest start. So far this season, Skubal has been nothing short of lights out, and it would not be surprising to see the lefty win his second Cy Young award in a row if he continues at this rate. As of now, Skubal boasts a 9-2 record, along with a 2.29 ERA and 125 total strikeouts.

Offensively, Gleyber Torres, Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson and Zach McKinstry have been enjoying great seasons for Detroit.

Detroit has been one of the most consistent teams in the major leagues this season. Playing at home and with their ace on the mound, the hosts should be able to secure another win and clinch this series in the process.

One of Raghav's favorite moments, which underscores this, was the Shohei Ohtani vs. Mike Trout clash in the 2023 WBC, where two of baseball's best players faced off against each other in the 9th inning. With the score 3-2 to Japan, Shohei eventually got the strikeout, which was absolute cinema.
