Tigers vs Marlins Pick
- Tigers ML (4 units)
Detroit is competing for the top spot in the American League, but the Tigers were blown out in the series opener. Both pitchers have struggled mightily this season, which makes this game hard to call, but Detroit's offense is better. Mazur has struggled at home this season, while the Tigers also have the better bullpen. Ultimately, Detroit ML is the way to go here as I trust their offense to score and the bullpen to lock the game down.
Take Tigers ML.
Over/Under Pick for Tigers vs Marlins
- Over (4 units)
With this pitching matchup, the over is a great spot to go. Both Mazur and Gibson-Long have been shelled this season, and in their last starts. Both offenses should be able to get plenty of hits and runs early against them to help the over. This season, the Tigers are 79-63-6 in hitting the over, which is the second-best over record in the majors, while Miami is 73-73-6, so look for those trends to continue.
Take the over.
