Detroit Tigers Display Dominance in Recent Games, Favored to Win Against Milwaukee Brewers

The Detroit Tigers have demonstrated strong performance by winning seven of their last nine games, while the Milwaukee Brewers have experienced losses in three of their last four games. Detroit holds an advantage due to their strong offensive play and success against right-handed pitchers. Despite a commendable initial start by Priester, his previous two starts saw him allowing a total of six runs. Additionally, Milwaukee's struggling bullpen will likely face difficulty in containing the Tigers' offense. Conversely, Milwaukee may face challenges in offense compared to Detroit, given their recent struggles at the plate. Flaherty has proven effective on the mound, allowing only three runs in three starts. With his history of success against the Brewers' lineup, he is likely to maintain control over their offense. Therefore, a recommendation is to consider placing a bet on the Detroit Tigers to win on the money line.
