Rockies at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 4, Rockies 3

Moneyline

PASS.

The Tigers (-250) are far too sizable of a favorite to play here, especially considering the Rockies do have a solid option on the mound. The Rockies (+200) aren’t worth a play as an underdog either.

Run line/Against the spread

BET ROCKIES +1.5 (-105).

The Rockies have played well as of late and are 3-3 ATS in their last 6 games. Feltner has started just 3 games since the middle of August, but the Rockies have won all 3.

While the Tigers have been almost unbeatable with Skubal on the mound (19-9), they are just 1-3 ATS in his last 4 starts, so games have consistently been close in his starts. Four of the Tigers last 7 games have ended within 1 run.

Take ROCKIES +1.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (-110).

The Tigers and Rockies both have strong starting pitchers. The Tigers are 5-5 O/U in their last 10 games and have allowed just 6 runs in their last 4 games.

The Rockies are 2-7 O/U in their last 9 games, scoring 4 or fewer in all 9 and 2 or fewer in 5 of those. They are 71-72-3 O/U on the season. Take UNDER 7.5 (-110).

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

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.
