Detroit Tigers poised for victory against Minnesota Twins with rest advantage and stronger offensive performance

The Detroit Tigers enjoy a rest advantage in this upcoming game against the Minnesota Twins, as they had a day off on Thursday while the Twins finished a series with the Royals on the road. Thus far, Paddack has struggled in his first two starts, particularly in his first appearance of the season against the White Sox. Meanwhile, Olson demonstrated solid performance in his previous start and the Tigers have been performing well recently. Despite having to contend with cold temperatures during some games this season, Detroit has proven to be a stronger offensive team compared to the injury-plagued Twins. Considering the lack of consistent offense from Minnesota and Paddack's early struggles, it is advisable to support the Tigers in this upcoming match.
