Arizona Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks are struggling this season, mainly due to their pitching woes. Brandon Pfaadt, one of their starters, has particularly struggled, allowing 62 runs in 111 innings pitched with poor expected opponent batting average, barrel percentage, and expected ERA. On the bright side, their lineup has performed well, with players like Ketel Marte, Eugenio Suarez, Corbin Carroll, Pavin Smith, and Geraldo Perdomo contributing significantly with impressive batting stats and home run totals. Despite their offensive efforts, the Diamondbacks will need to improve their pitching performance to turn their season around.

Detroit Tigers

The Tigers are currently having a successful season and are aiming to break out of their recent slump to reclaim the best record in the American League. Casey Mize is set to start the upcoming game, looking to build on his impressive season statistics - including allowing only 38 runs in 92 innings pitched, with 82 strikeouts. Mize's strong performance is reflected in his .244 expected opponent Batting Average, 5.9 Walk Rate, and 3.46 expected ERA, making it difficult for opponents to score runs against him. The lineup has also been a key factor in the Tigers' success, with players like Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson leading the offense with impressive stats. Gleyber Torres, Zach McKinstry, and Colt Keith have also contributed significantly to the team's offensive capabilities, making the Tigers a formidable force at the plate.

Detroit Tigers Expected to Dominate Game at Home with Strong Performance

The Detroit Tigers, despite recent struggles, are expected to showcase a strong performance at home and dominate the game from the very beginning. Key players such as Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson, and the rest of the batting order should consistently drive in runs, demonstrating strong plate appearances and making solid contact. Casey Mize, with an impressive record of only 38 runs allowed in 92 innings pitched, is anticipated to limit the Diamondbacks lineup by delivering multiple scoreless innings. This should provide the bullpen with a comfortable lead to close out the game successfully. Overall, the Tigers are poised for victory with a solid performance at home. It is advisable to consider taking the Tigers money line as they are the favored team at home.
