Detroit Tigers at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Detroit Tigers (37-45) and Los Angeles Angels (35-46) play the 3rd game of a 4-game series Saturday. First pitch from Angel Stadium is slated for 10:07 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Tigers vs. Angels odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 2-2

The Tigers fell for the 9th time in their last 12 games with a 5-2 loss Friday night in Los Angeles. RHP Kenta Maeda was the hard-luck loser (5 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 1 HR, 1 BB, 4 K), and Detroit’s only runs came on RBI walks from CF Matt Vierling and 1B Mark Canha. The Tigers are scoring fewer than 2 runs (1.8) per game over their last 5.

Angels C Logan O’Hoppe broke a 2-2 tie in the 8th inning with a 3-run blast, and RHP Carlos Estevez pitched a perfect 9th to earn his 16th save of the season. This was Los Angeles’ 5th consecutive victory, outscoring its opponents 27-10 over that stretch.

Tigers at Angels projected starters

RHP Reese Olson vs. RHP Griffin Canning

Olson (2-8, 3.35 ERA) makes his 16th start. He has a 1.19 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 7.8 K/9 in 83 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 4 H, 0 BB, 3 K in 11-2 home victory against Chicago White Sox Sunday
  • 2024 road splits: 0-4, 3.38 ERA (40 IP, 15 ER), 1.20 WHIP, 7.7 K/9 in 8 starts
  • Never faced Angels before

Canning (3-8, 4.72 ERA) makes his 17th start. He has a 1.34 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 6.1 K/9 in 87 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 5-1 home victory against Oakland A’s Monday
  • 2024 home splits: 3-2, 4.35 ERA (49 2/3 IP, 24 ER), 1.45 WHIP, 6.0 K/9 in 9 starts
  • Career vs. Tigers: 2-1, 3.22 ERA (22 1/3 IP, 8 ER), 1.16 WHIP, 11.7 K/9 in 4 starts, including 0-1 with 4.91 ERA (11 IP, 6 ER) in 2 starts last year

Tigers at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 5, Tigers 4

Moneyline.

PASS.

However, if you must, the LEAN is with ANGELS (+106), mostly because of the momentum after taking the first 2 games of this series and those plus odds. You’ve got 2 middling teams, but no clear favorite in this one. The Angels are 13-17 and the Tigers are 14-16 in their last 30 games.

Both starters have shown flashes, but both have been inconsistent throughout the season. You don’t know which arm is going to show up. I’m personally STAYING AWAY.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I don’t like either team’s run line for the same reasons listed above. This one is tough to handicap for so many factors. The Tigers are better on the road (18-23) than the Angels are at home (17-25), but Detroit is 6-12 against the AL West this season. There are just no trends to lean into with this game. AVOID.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-112).

I love the total in this game for several reasons. I already mentioned how these pitchers have struggled with consistency. Olson has allowed 4 or more runs in 3 of his last 5 starts, while Canning has allowed at least 3 runs in 3 of his last 4 starts. The Over has hit in 4 of Olson’s last 5 starts.

In their last 10 head-to-head meetings, they are 6-3-1 to the Over. I like runs to be scored in this game, and I’ll keep my bet to the total, especially with the even-money odds.

Detroit Tigers at New York Mets odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Detroit Tigers (4-0) and New York Mets (0-4) play the middle game of their 3-game series Tuesday. First pitch from the Citi Field is slated for 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Tigers vs. Mets odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tigers lead 1-0

The Tigers remained perfect on the season by scoring 5 runs in the top of the 10th inning to beat the Mets 5-0 on Monday night in New York. Five Detroit pitchers combined for the 10-inning shutout.

After being swept at home by the Milwaukee Brewers, a fielding error by 2B Joey Wendle in the 10th inning ended up costing them the game. New York has struggled to score runs, failing to produce more than 1 run in 3 of their 4 games.

Tigers at Mets projected starters

RHP Casey Mize vs. RHP Adrian Houser

Mize had Tommy John surgery on June 15, 2022, to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.

  • Has not pitched since April 14, 2022
  • Career 7-13 record with a 4.29 ERA

Houser (8-5, 4.12 ERA in 2023 with the Milwaukee Brewers) makes his 1st start. He had a 1.39 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 7.8 K/9 in 111 1/3 IP.

  • 2023 home stats: 4-2, 4.15 ERA (56 1/3 IP, 26 ER) in 11 starts and 1 relief appearance
  • Last start vs. Tigers: Loss, 4 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 6 K in 8-3 road loss Sept. 8, 2020

  • Moneyline (ML): Tigers +110 (bet $100 to win $110) | Mets -130 (bet $130 to win $100)

  • Over/Under (O/U): 8 (O: +100 | U: -120)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Tigers at Mets picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 5, Tigers 2

Moneyline

BET METS (-130).

The Mets (-130) will finally get a notch in the win column on Tuesday night. This has to be where the streak ends with the Tigers putting Mize back on the bump for the 1st time in nearly 2 years. Despite what the team says, I don’t expect Detroit to have a long rope with Mize as he continues his comeback from Tommy John surgery. New Mets starter Houser has a much more recent track record to go by and he should benefit from a Mets’ lineup that is overdue to breakout.

As much as I like New York to win this game, I’m not confident enough to take the run line even with the better odds.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I’ll save my unit for the moneyline in this one.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8 (-120).

Both of these teams have been Under the total in 3 of their 4 games played this season. The Mets have scored 1 run or fewer in 3 of their 4 games and the Tigers have the 2nd-best ERA in the league thus far at 1.89.

These teams did not score a run until the 10th inning of their 1st game Monday night. I don’t expect fireworks in this game either.

Cincinnati Reds at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Cincinnati Reds (75-71) play the 2nd game of a 3-game series against the Detroit Tigers (66-78) on Wednesday at Comerica Park. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Reds vs. Tigers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Reds lead 1-0

C Tyler Stephenson lifted the Reds over the Tigers Tuesday by notching an RBI single in the 10th inning to secure a 6-5 victory. Cincinnati is 6-4 in its last 10 games and is only 1 game behind the Arizona Diamondbacks for the 3rd Wild Card spot in the NL.

The Tigers fell short Tuesday despite multi-hit performances from 2B Andy Ibanez, C Jake Rogers and OF Kerry Carpenter. Even though Detroit is 12 games under .500, it is still only 9 1/2 games back of the Minnesota Twins for 1st place in the AL Central.

Reds at Tigers projected starters

RHP Connor Phillips vs. LHP Eduardo Rodriguez

Phillips (0-0, 9.64 ERA) makes his 2nd start. He has a 1.71 WHIP, 3.9 BB/9 and 13.5 K/9 through 4 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 7 K in 7-6 home win vs. Seattle Mariners Sept. 5
  • First career road start
  • First career start vs. the Tigers

Rodriguez (11-7, 3.18 ERA) makes his 23rd start. He has a 1.13 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 8.8 K/9 through 130 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 4 BB, 4 K in 10-3 road win vs. New York Yankees Thursday
  • 2023 home stats: 4-3, 3.23 ERA (53 IP, 19 ER) in 9 starts
  • Career vs. Reds: 1-0, 0.00 ERA (7 2/3 IP, 0 ER) in 1 start

  • Over/Under (O/U): 8 (O: -120 | U: +100)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Reds at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 4, Reds 3

Moneyline

I’ll side with the TIGERS (-150) with Rodriguez on the mound in Wednesday’s matchup. Rodriguez has been credited with a win in 3 of his last 5 starts, and Phillips is making his 1st career road start.

Run line/Against the spread

REDS +1.5 (-160) is the play in this game as Cincinnati is gearing up for a postseason run. The Reds have either won or kept the game within a run in 7 of their last 10 contests.

Over/Under

UNDER 8 (+100) has solid value with Rodriguez getting the start for the Tigers at home. The Tigers are 7-3 to the Under in their last 10 games.

Analyzing Monday’s Minnesota Twins at Detroit Tigers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Minnesota Twins (59-54) open a 3-game series against the Detroit Tigers (49-62) on Monday at Comerica Park. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Twins vs. Tigers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Twins at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Twins 5, Tigers 3

Moneyline

While the Twins (-165) should extend their winning streak on Monday, I’ll PASS on taking their money line unless you can get it at -160 or better odds.

Run line/Against the spread

TWINS -1.5 (-105) is how I’d wager on the run line as Minnesota should have success against Wentz. In the first 7 meetings between these teams this season, the winner has won by multiple runs in 6 of them.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (-120) is the pick in this divisional bout as Lopez should limit the Tigers on Monday. Besides Lopez’s expected success on the mound, the Twins have the 20th-best wOBA (.303) and wRC+ (93) against left-handed pitching since the start of July.

Tigers at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Phillies 6, Tigers 4

Moneyline

Even though the Phillies should secure the win at home on Monday, I’ll PASS on their moneyline in this interleague matchup at -250 odds.

Run line/Against the spread

PHILLIES -1.5 (-125) is how I’d wager with the woes that Wentz has endured this season. Nola hasn’t been great either, but there is reason to believe he can put together a solid outing against an inconsistent Tigers lineup.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-115) is the play based on how Wentz and Nola have pitched thus far. The Tigers are 3-0-1 to the Over in their last 4 interleague road games against a right-handed pitcher.

Pirates at Tigers projected starters

RHP Luis Ortiz vs. RHP Michael Lorenzen

Ortiz (0-1, 3.60 ERA) makes his 2nd start. He has a 1.60 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 1.8 K/9 in 5 innings.

Pirates at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 4, Pirates 3

Moneyline

Even though Ortiz is a young pitcher who the Pirates have confidence in, I’ll back the TIGERS (-120) at home in Tuesday’s matchup. Pittsburgh is 1-4 in the last 5 meetings overall.

Run line/Against the spread

While I believe the Tigers will secure the victory on Tuesday, the Pirates should be able to keep this game within multiple runs. With a close game expected, I’ll PASS on wagering on the run line.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 9 (-120) is how I’d play the run total with neither team showing consistency from the plate in recent games. Outside of 2 starts, Lorenzen has given up 1 or fewer runs, and the Tigers are registering a league-worst 76 wRC+ against right-handed pitchers this season.

The Pirates are 3-0-1 to the Under in their last 4 games overall. On top of that, the Tigers are 4-0-1 to the Under in their last 5 games against a right-handed pitcher.

Mariners at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 5, Mariners 4

Moneyline

I’ll back the TIGERS (+105) at home on Friday considering that they’ve played just as well as the Mariners over their last 10 games. Seattle owns a league-worst .193 batting average against southpaws this season, which is why I lean toward Detroit.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Tigers +1.5 (-160) getting a run of insurance is too expensive. I like the odds for them to win outright much more, so best to focus on the moneyline.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Tigers at Guardians picks and predictions

Prediction

Guardians 5, Tigers 2

Money line

The Guardians (-220) will cost more than 2 times your potential return, and over the long haul that’s just not a good betting strategy.

AVOID, and look to the run line instead.

Run line/Against the spread

The GUARDIANS -1.5 (+100) are a much better play on the run line at home. Quantrill has been on fire lately with his last loss coming in early July. It just so happens that the last loss was against the Tigers. However, he also dominated them with 6-scoreless IP in a win July 16 last time they met.

Over/Under

The UNDER 7.5 (-102) is worth a look in the series finale.

The Under has been the dominant trend for both of these clubs. It’s 8-2-1 in the past 11 games overall for the Guardians and 4-1 in their last 5 games at home.

The Under is 13-3-5 in the past 21 games overall for the Tigers while going 8-2-2 in the previous 12 outings inside the division.

Tigers at Guardians picks and predictions

Prediction

Guardians 5, Tigers 4

Money line

The Guardians (-220) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s risky business when they’re starting a guy with 2 wins and 10 losses on his ledger. While the Cleveland offense has been strong lately, hold off here.

AVOID.

Run line/Against the spread

The TIGERS +1.5 (-115) are a risky play based on their play of late, but they’re worth playing as the underdog on the run line since Plesac has been so very giving this season.

Over/Under

The OVER 8.5 (-107) is the lean here, but play it lightly.

Hill is an unproven commodity, and he has struggled on the road. Plesac has had some awful luck at home, and he has been very giving overall. Look for the offense to do enough to inch this one over the finish line.

Guardians at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 7, Guardians 4

Money line

The TIGERS (+135) are a value play at home as they look to avoid the broom in the series finale.

Plesac has been very giving this season, especially on the road, while Hill has been tremendous so far in his home park. The rookie also has confidence against the Guardians after beating them in his MLB debut July 4.

Run line/Against the spread

The TIGERS +1.5 (-117) are just 2-9 across their last 11 games, but they’re a strong play in Thursday’s day game with Plesac on the bump. Hill has allowed 3 or fewer runs in 3 of his last 4 outings, and he’ll cool off the Guardians bats in this one.

Over/Under

Play the OVER 8.5 (-112) with the very giving Plesac starting. Yes, the Under is 7-2 across his past 9 outings, but he has allowed 4 or more earned runs in 3 of his past 5 outings, including July 15 at home against Detroit in a no-decision. That outing ended up going Over, too.
