After heavy rain on Thursday, the Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers hope to get this four-game series started on Friday.
The Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers were supposed to play their first game of the season on Thursday but the rain had other plans. The four-game series opener was postponed and this game on Friday will serve as the proper opener for these AL Central rivals. The postponed game will be made up on Saturday as part of a doubleheader. Minnesota and Detroit sit in the middle of the pack of these division standings to open the season with Cleveland and Kansas City getting off to strong starts. The Tigers are 2.5 games ahead of the Twins though with a 7-4 record and will be favored in the opener with a -125 line tonight. The Tigers are coming off a split in a two-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The win on Wednesday ended a three-game losing streak after losing their previous series against Oakland. After starting off the season 5-0, Detroit is just 2-4 since.

Minnesota was on an even worse slide losing its last four before salvaging the series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The same starters that were supposed to go on Thursday will get the start tonight. Tarik Skubal will get the start for the Tigers. The lefty has a 1-0 record in two starts with a 2.92 ERA. He is picking up the pace from 2023 starting 15 games with a 7-3 record and a 2.80 ERA. The Twins will start veteran Pablo Lopez who is 1-1 with a 2.84 ERA after an 11-8 season with a 3.66 ERA in his first season in Minnesota last year. Rain is still in the forecast but hopefully it stays away long enough to get this series underway.
Regional restrictions may apply.
