After there were just three games on Monday, the Tuesday MLB schedule is packed with 15 games. The action begins with three games at 6:40 p.m. ET and concludes with Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks getting underway at 10:10 p.m. ET. In some of the more intriguing matchups, the latest MLB odds list the Cubs as slight -126 favorites (risk $126 to win $100) against the Phillies, the Royals at -116 against the Rays and the Braves (-186) against the Giants.

After simulating every game on Tuesday 10,000 times, the model is picking the Twins (-110) to beat the Tigers in a 7:40 p.m. ET matchup at Target Field. The Twins have clearly been the better team this season, but the Tigers are getting a decent amount of credit from oddsmakers because Tarik Skubal is on the hill. Skubal is 9-3 with a 2.32 ERA on the season.
However, Skubal hasn't been as good on the road recently, giving up four earned runs in his past two road outings. Minnesota, meanwhile, has Simeon Woods Richardson on the mound. He's 3-1 with a 3.41 ERA. Detroit's offense is struggling and SportsLine's model projects that the Tigers failed to get to four runs in the simulations. The Twins win outright more than 60% of the time, making them the clear value pick as small favorites. See the model's top MLB picks here.
