Marlins at Tigers picks and predictions
Prediction
Tigers 6, Marlins 3
Moneyline.
PASS.
Detroit battled back in Game 1 and this should be a big opportunity to Olson to get his 1st victory of the season. As much as I like the Tigers, I’m not going to put down nearly 2 units to win 1, I’ll focus my wager on the run line in this game.
Run line/Against the spread
BET TIGERS -1.5 (+115).
The Tigers had a rough road trip against some of the best teams in the American League like the New York Yankees, Houston Astros and Cleveland Guardians. Detroit gained confidence on Monday night coming back from 2-runs down on 8th inning.
Olson is 0-4 on the season, but he has pitched much better than his record would indicate. In his 7 starts, he has allowed more than 2 ER just once.
The Marlins run differential on the season is -90, so they aren’t just losing games, they are getting throttled. Miami has dropped 9 of their last 10 road games.
Over/Under
BET OVER 8.5 (-102).
All the trends point to this game smashing the Over. They’ve gone Over the total in 3 of their last 4 meetings. The Marlins are 9-1 against the Over in their last 10, while the Detroit is 5-1 in their last 6.
