Colorado Rockies at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Colorado Rockies at Detroit Tigers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Colorado Rockies (54-91) and Detroit Tigers (74-71) play the middle contest of a 3-game interleague series Wednesday. First pitch from Comerica Park is set for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Tigers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tigers lead 1-0

The Tigers hammered the Rockies 11-0 in the series opener Tuesday, as Colorado was limited to just 3 hits. The big hitting stars for Detroit were OF Parker Meadows and OF Riley Greene, as each player delivered 2 hits and 3 RBIs. OF Matt Vierling and 2B Colt Keith also had multi-hit performances.

Detroit is still very much alive for a postseason berth. It’s currently 3 games back of the Minnesota Twins for the final Wild Card spot in the American League with 17 games remaining in the regular season while sitting a half-game ahead of the Seattle Mariners and 2 games in front of the Boston Red Sox.

The Tigers have picked up 3 consecutive wins, and pitching has been a major reason for the success. Detroit pitchers have allowed just 2 runs in the 3-game win streak while conceding 3 or fewer runs in 11 of the previous 14 outings.

For the Rockies, they’re simply playing out the string, as Colorado has long since been eliminated from the postseason chase. The Rockies aren’t throwing in the towel, though, going a respectable 3-2 in the past 5 outings despite the ugly, lopsided loss Tuesday. The Under is 7-1 across the past 8 games.

Rockies at Tigers projected starters

RHP Tanner Gordon vs. RHP Casey Mize

Gordon (0-5, 7.55 ERA) makes his 8th start. He has a 1.58 WHIP, 1.7 BB/9 and 7.3 K/9 in 31 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 IP, 5 ER, 8 H (1 HR), 1 BB, 2 K in 6-1 road setback vs. Washington Nationals Sept. 4
  • 2024 road splits: 0-4, 8.69 ERA, 19 2/3 IP, 19 ER, 5 HR, 1.78 WHIP, .349 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 6 BB, 14 K in 5 starts
  • Has never faced Tigers

Mize (2-6, 4.30 ERA) makes his 19th start. He has a 1.41 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 6.4 K/9 in 90 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 6 H (2 HR), 1 BB, 2 K in 4-3 road loss vs. San Diego Padres Thursday
  • 2024 home splits: 0-3, 3.67 ERA, 49 IP, 20 ER, 5 HR, 1.24 WHIP, .267 OBA, 9 BB, 35 K in 9 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Rockies at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 8, Rockies 4

Moneyline

The TIGERS (-174) are rather heavy favorites, but not priced out of line if you’re a little more on the conservative side.

Detroit is in the mix for the final Wild Card spot in the American League, but it needs to keep its foot on the gas and take advantage of a good situation. Wednesday is one of those such situations, as Gordon has been an absolute disaster.

Run line/Against the spread

If you’re a little more on the adventurous side, TIGERS -1.5 (+116) is a strong play on the run line. Detroit covered in an 11-0 whitewashing of the Rockies +1.5 (-140).

Be careful, as Detroit is 1-4 in the past 5 on the run line as a favorite, although that lone cover was Tuesday’s series-opening win.

Colorado is 3-5 in the past 8 games as an underdog on the run line while losing 4 of the past 5 interleague contests by 2 or more runs.

Over/Under

OVER 8 (-115) is a strong play, and Detroit might be able to take care of things all on its own.

Gordon has a dismal 7.55 ERA this season and an 8.69 ERA mark on the road. Be careful not to get carried away, however, as the Under hit in 7 straight games for the Rockies prior to Tuesday’s series-opening Over result.

For the Tigers, though, the Over is 3-1 in the past 4 outings while going 4-2 in the past 6 interleague battles.

Detroit Tigers at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Detroit Tigers at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Detroit Tigers (70-70) and San Diego Padres (80-61) play the finale of a 3-game series Thursday at PETCO Park at 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Tigers vs. Padres odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Padres lead 2-0

The Tigers dropped their 2nd straight with a 6-5 defeat in 10 innings Wednesday. The Tigers were up 5-0 in the 4th and didn’t score the rest of the game. OF Matt Vierling hit his 16th HR in the loss. The Tigers remain 5 1/2 out of a Wild Card spot.

The Padres have won 3 straight and trail the Los Angeles Dodgers by 4 1/2 in the NL West and hold the top Wild Card spot. OF Jackson Merrill hit his 22nd HR Wednesday. He’s now hitting .294 with 22 homers, 82 RBIs and 16 steals.

Tigers at Padres projected starters

RHP Casey Mize vs. LHP Martin Perez

Mize (2-6, 4.25 ERA) makes his 18th start. He has a 1.42 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 6.6 K/9 in 84 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 4 K Saturday against the Boston Red Sox
  • Has never faced Padres
  • Road/Home splits: 2-3, 5.05 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, 6.8 K/9 in 8 road GS; 0-3, 3.67 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 6.4 K/9 in 9 home GS

Perez (4-5, 4.71 ERA) makes his 23rd start. He has a 1.54 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 7.1 K/9 in 114 2/3 IP with Pittsburgh Pirates and Padres.

  • Last start: Win, 5 IP, 4 ER, 7 H, 3 BB, 4 K Saturday against Tampa Bay Rays
  • Last 5 starts vs. Tigers: 0-1, 4.33 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 21 K in 27 IP

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Tigers at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 4, Padres 3

Moneyline

I like the ‘dogs here. Padres closer Robert Suarez has pitched 3 of the last 4 days, and I doubt he’s available. Mize’s road numbers are no bueno, but he has been good in his last 2 roadies. He allowed 2 ER over 9 1/3 IP against the LA Angels and Atlanta Braves.

Take the TIGERS +140 to avoid the sweep.

Run line/Against the spread

I’m going with CASEY MIZE OVER 15.5 OUTS (-125), which would have cashed in his last 2 starts. The former No. 1 overall pick looks to finish the season strong.

Over/Under

It’s slated to be 82 degrees with a 10-mph wind blowing in from left-center. The Over is 2-2-1 in the last 5 meetings between the clubs over the last 2 years. Detroit is 3-6-1 O/U in their last 10, and San Dawg is 5-4-1. The wind is a big factor for me here. Take the UNDER 8.5 (-115).

  • Last start: Loss, 6 IP, 6 ER, 7 H, 4 BB, 2 K in 7-5 home setback vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Sunday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Red Sox at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 3, Tigers 2

Moneyline

BET RED SOX (-120).

Boston has won 2 straight road games, while Detroit lost its last home outing.

The Red Sox have also won 2 of the last 3 meetings between these teams, are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall, and are 3-0 in the last 3 in Detroit.

Be aware that Detroit is the hotter team and is 7-3 in its last 10 games, while the Red Sox are 4-6 across that same span.

Run line/Against the spread

BET TIGERS +1.5 (-165).

Not only is Detroit the hotter team entering this matchup, but it has been the much better team ATS this year. The Tigers are 72-63 ATS on the year, while the Red Sox are only 61-73 ATS this season.

Be aware that Boston has been much better ATS on the road (38-27) than it has been overall this year.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 9 (-125).

The Under has hit in each of Detroit’s last 3 games and each of Boston’s last 3. The Under also hit in the last meeting in Detroit.

This is a lean because the Under is 5-5 in the last 10 meetings, 5-5 in Boston’s last 10 games, and 5-4-1 in Detroit’s last 10. The O/U has been very even across the board.

Los Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Los Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Angels (54-79) and Detroit Tigers (68-66) close out a 3-game set Thursday afternoon in the Motor City. The 1st pitch at Comerica Park is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Angels at Tigersodds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 3-3; Detroit has won 1st 2 games of this series 6-2 and 3-2

Scuffling Los Angeles has lost 7 in a row and has scored just 2.0 runs per game over that stretch. The Angels own a 2nd-half OPS of .644.

The Tigers have been trending the other way. Detroit has won 6 in a row, clocking an .888 OPS along the way. Since Aug. 11, the Bengals have gone 13-3 with a plus-40 run differential.

Angels at Tigers projected starters

RHP Jack Kochanowicz vs. RHP Keider Montero

Kochanowicz (1-3, 6.08 ERA) is lined up for his 6th career start. He has a 1.54 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 2.7 K/9 in 26 2/3 IP.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 6 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 0 BB, 1 K in 5-4 loss at Toronto Blue Jays Friday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Angels at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 5, Angels 3

Moneyline

Better value can be had on the run line. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Tigers are 4-1 over their last 5 series finales.

The recent Detroit offense is likely nothing to buy into in any significant way, but in a day game after a delayed-start night game (near-2-hour delay before Wednesday’s contest) and with the Halos closing out a 10-game road swing, look for the home team to have lots of edge here.

The Tiger bullpen is also in a better state of availability.

BACK THE TIGERS -1.5 (+128).

Over/Under

The total has gone Under in 5 of the Angels’ last 7 games and in 7 straight Tigers contests.

This matchup is a bit of a no-name mound test between rookies. Peg both as being maybe just so-so but better than what shows in surface stats. The Los Angeles offense is languishing.

The Under prevailed in the 1st two games of this series and is 5-2 across the last 7 series meetings and 6-2 in the last 8 meetings at Comerica Park.

BetMGM Sportsbook offers more value for this play. TAKE THE UNDER 9 (-105).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Angels (54-77) and Detroit Tigers (66-66) meet for the opener of a 3-game series Tuesday. First pitch from Comerica Park is set for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Angels vs. Tigers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Los Angeles leads 3-1

Los Angeles was routed 8-2 by the Toronto Blue Jays Sunday as a +142 road underdog. The Angels have lost 5 straight and are just 1-6 on their current 10-game road trip.

Detroit picked up a 6-3 win over the Chicago White Sox Monday as a -126 road favorite. After trailing 2-0, the Tigers scored 6 unanswered runs through the 5th and 7th innings. Detroit has won 4 consecutive games.

Angels at Tigers projected starters

RHP Johnny Cueto vs. LHP Brant Hurter

Cueto (0-1, 4.26 ERA) makes his 2nd start. He allowed 3 earned runs on 8 hits and 2 walks with 1 K in 6 1/3 IP in his season debut, a 3-0 loss at the Kansas City Royals Wednesday.

  • 2023 stats: 1-4, 6.02 ERA (52 1/3 IP, 35 ER), 1.26 WHIP, 6.7 K/9 in 13 appearances (10 starts)
  • Career vs. Detroit: 2-3, 2.79 ERA (48 1/3 IP, 15 ER), 0.91 WHIP, 5.6 K/9 across 7 starts, including 0-1 with 6.00 ERA (6 IP, 4 ER) in 1 start last year

Hurter (1-1, 3.57 ERA) makes his 1st start and 5th appearance. The rookie has a 0.79 WHIP, 0.5 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 through 17 2/3 innings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Angels at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 7, Angels 6

Moneyline

LEAN TIGERS (-155).

Detroit has won 4 consecutive games and is 7-3 in its last 10, while the Angels are just 2-8 in their last 10 and have dropped 5 straight.

This is a lean because the Angels have won 8 of the last 13 meetings between these teams.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I like the Angels to cover here as +1.5 (-165) underdogs, especially as they are 6-4 in the last 10 meetings overall and 3-0 in the last 3 in Detroit. However, they’re a bit too expensive to risk betting on, so bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 9.5 (-105).

The Over has hit in 2 of Detroit’s last 3 games and is 4-1-1 in its last 6. For L.A., the Over is 2-1 in its last 3 outings.

The Over is 6-4 in the last 10 meetings overall, including 2-0 in the last 2, and 2-1 in the last 3 in Detroit.

The Detroit Tigers (64-66) and Chicago White Sox (31-99) play the finale of their 4-game series Sunday. First pitch from Guaranteed Rate Field is set for 2:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Tigers vs. White Sox odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tigers lead 7-1

The Tigers continued their dominance of the White Sox this season with a 13-4 victory Saturday behind LHP Tarik Skubal‘s 8-K performance. Detroit had 14 hits, 3 of which were HRs from RF Matt Vierling, 2B Zach McKinstry, and DH Colt Keith. The Tigers have outscored Chicago 43-18 in their 8 meetings.

Despite accumulating 12 hits on Saturday, the White Sox could only muster 4 runs. The combination of LHP Ky Bush and RHP Touki Toussaint allowed 9 ER over 3 2/3 IP. DH Andrew Vaughn went 2-for-4 with 2 RBIs. The White Sox are 18-46 at home and 54-75 against the spread (ATS).

Tigers at White Sox projected starters

RHP Beau Brieske vs. RHP Jonathan Cannon

Brieske (2-3, 4.24 ERA) makes his 7th start and 32nd appearance. He has a 1.35 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9 and 10.0 K/9 in 46 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 2 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 BB, 3 K in 8-2 win at the White Sox Wednesday

Tigers at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 6, White Sox 2

Moneyline

BET TIGERS (-136).

Detroit has completely dictated the series with the White Sox this season. There’s also no reason to fear Chicago’s Gannon as he’s 1-4 over his last 6 starts.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I’ll take the safer bet with the moneyline.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9 (-110).

The trends are telling me to take the Under in this one. In their last 10  meetings, they are 7-3 against the Under. The Tigers are Under in 7 of their last 10, the White Sox are 1-4-1 against the Over in their last 6. The Under is also 4-0-1 in Gannon’s last 5 starts.

The Detroit Tigers (61-64) and Chicago Cubs (61-64) open a 3-game series Tuesday. First pitch from Wrigley Field is set for 8:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Tigers vs. Cubs odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Cubs lead 2-1

The Tigers surprised the New York Yankees over the weekend, winning 2 of 3 games. Despite the winning ways, Detroit has struggled to score runs lately, going for just 12 runs in the past 5 outings, or 2.4 runs per game (RPG).

Pitching has been amazing for the Tigers lately, allowing 4 or fewer runs in 12 straight outings, with the Under going 9-3 during the impressive span.

The Cubs were denied a 3-game interleague series sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays over the weekend, losing 1-0 on Sunday after winning a pair of 1-run games Friday and Saturday. The Under is 4-1 in the past 5 outings for Chicago.

Detroit has managed an 18-19 record in interleague play, while going 30-32 on the road. Chicago is an impressive 23-14 in 37 tries against the AL, while the Cubbies are 34-28 in the Friendly Confines this season.

Assad (5-3, 3.19 ERA) makes his 23rd start. He has a 1.37 WHIP, 4.1 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 in 107 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 2 K in 2-1 road loss vs. Cleveland Guardians last Tuesday
  • 2024 home splits: 2-1, 2.38 ERA (53 IP, 14 ER), 1.40 WHIP, .226 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 4 HR, 30 BB, 41 K in 11 starts

Tigers at Cubs picks and predictions

Prediction

Cubs 3, Tigers 2

Moneyline

The CUBS (-158) are a strong play behind Assad in this series opener.

The Tigers (+134) have played good baseball lately, but they’ve struggled to score runs. On the road, the Tigers have managed a 5-5 record across the past 10 outings.

Detroit isn’t a pushover, though. The pitching staff has been a bit crushed by injuries, but manager A.J. Hinch is doing it with mirrors. They’re expected to use an opener or minor-league call-up for Tuesday. The Tigers pitching staff has managed a 2.08 ERA, 3.07 FIP and 2.2 fWAR in the past 14 days, more than holding their own despite a bevy of ailments, so be careful.

Run line/Against the spread

While the Tigers +1.5 (-170) have been doing a good job pitching, it’s too expensive playing Detroit at this price.

The Tigers are 10-1 in the past 11 games on the run line as an underdog, with 7 outright wins during the span. If you’re a little more on the conservative side, back Detroit, but it’s tough to make that wager when it’s not even certain who the starting pitcher will be.

PASS.

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 (-110) is the best play on the board.

The Under has cashed in 5 straight games for the Tigers, with the offense averaging just 2.4 runs per game (RPG) in the span, while allowing only 1.5 RPG in the previous 6 outings.

For the Cubs, they’re 4-1 in the past 5 outings. In addition, Assad has allowed 3 or fewer runs in the past 6 starts, and he has not served up a homer in the past 3 outings across 12 2/3 IP. Go low, and feel confidently in doing so.

Yankees vs. Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 4, Yankees 3

Moneyline

The Yankees are an MLB-best 41-24 away from home this season. They have won 4 straight series away from Yankee Stadium.

The Tigers are 16-8 in Skubal’s starts and have won 4 of his last 5 outings.

The Tigers are playing good baseball right now, allowing 2 or fewer runs in 4 of their last 5 games.

BET TIGERS (-125).

Run line/Against the spread

Three of the Tigers’ last 5 wins have been by only 1 run.

The Yankees are 17-3 ATS as underdogs away from home.

But betting the Yankees to cover +1.5 at -210 doesn’t give you any value.

PASS. 

Over/Under

Four of the 5 meetings between these teams this season have ended with 7 or fewer total runs (the outlier had 8). Nine of the Tigers’ last 12 games have not reached 8 total runs.

Three of the Yankees’ last 4 games have stayed under 8.

BET UNDER 7.5 (+100).

New York Yankees at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s New York Yankees at Detroit Tigers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Yankees (72-50) and Detroit Tigers (59-63) clash in a Friday-Sunday series in the Motor City. Friday’s opener at Comerica Park is slated for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Tigers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Yankees lead 3-0

New York is continuing a road trip that opened with the Yankees taking 2 of 3 at the Chicago White Sox. The Yankees swept Detroit in a low-scoring 3-game series at Yankee Stadium May 3-5, and New York is 11-2 across its last 13 games against the Motor City Kitties.

The Tigers have been a mercurial team this season, ebbing and flowing with stretches of win streaks and dominance and losing skids and ineptitude. They head into this set on a 4-game win streak.

Yankees at Tigers projected starters

RHP Gerrit Cole vs. undecided

Cole (3-2, 4.70 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 1.41 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 10.2 K/9 in 46 IP.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 5 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 10 K in 9-4 loss vs. Texas Rangers Saturday
  • Career vs. Tigers: 9-1, 1.99 ERA (77 IP, 17 ER), 55 H, 21 BB, 98 K in 13 starts
  • current Tigers batters own an aggregate .554 OPS against him,mper ESPN

Rookie LHP Brian Hurter is a possibility for the Tigers, either as a starter or in a bullpen role. The 25-year-old has appeared in 2 games out of the Detroit bullpen. He has allowed 3 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 8 K in 8 IP.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Yankees at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Tigers 4

Moneyline

PASS: Look to leverage a Detroit lean on the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

The Tigers are 7-4 over their last 11 games and 7 of those 11 have been 1-run affairs. Detroit pitching owns a tidy 2.42 ERA since Aug. 4, and the Yankees are just 2-5 over their last 7 road-series openers.

Cole is coming off perhaps his finest start in truncated season after a spring training injury. But the veteran hurler has also failed to go more than 6 frames in any start and has gone less than 6 in each of his last 3.

Detroit’s pitching is a wild card for this game, but the Tigers have some staff mojo and in the 2nd half have had the better bullpen.

TAKE THE TIGERS +1.5 (-106).

Over/Under

The Over has cashed in 9 of New York’s last 10 games on the road.

Advanced analytics peg both teams as having expected runs vs. actual pointing to higher scoring games and on both sides of the ball.

While buying into a 22-cent hold is not ideal, the OVER 8 (-115) is the lean.

The Mariners have lost back-to-back games after entering this series on a 4-game win streak while the Tigers have won 3 straight. Detroit has won by only 1 run in 2 of its last 3 wins.

Mariners at Tigers projected starters

RHP Bryce Miller vs. RHP Alex Faedo

Miller (9-7, 3.46 ERA) makes his 24th start. He has a 1.03 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 8.1 K/9 in 132 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 6 K in a 6-0 win over the New York Mets Friday

Mariners at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 4, Mariners 2

Moneyline

PASS.

I slightly lean toward the Tigers to cover here as +135 underdogs, but their odds feel safer on the run line and I don’t like doubling down. If you’d like, you can divvy up units backing Detroit between both the ML and run line, but I advise betting on the spread and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

BET TIGERS +1.5 (-120).

Detroit is the hotter team entering this matchup, being 6-4 in its last 10 while Seattle is only 5-5 in its last 10, and being 7-3 in the last 10 Seattle-Detroit matchups.

The Tigers have also been the much better spread team this year, being 64-57 ATS while the Mariners are only 51-70 ATS.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8 (-105). 

The Under has hit in 2 of Seattle’s last 3 road games and is 6-4 in Seattle’s last 10 overall. For Detroit, the Under is 2-1 in its last 3 home games.

The Under has also hit in 3 of the last 4 Seattle-Detroit matchups in Detroit, being 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall.
