• Run Line: Tigers -1.5 (-120)

• Over/Under: 7.5 runs

Analysis:

• Tigers’ Strengths:

  • The Tigers have been on a roll with a 25-13 overall record and a 13-3 record at home. Their offense has been solid, ranking third in the AL for team on-base percentage at .336.

  • Tarik Skubal has been excellent with a 2.21 ERA and 0.98 WHIP, making him a strong asset on the mound for the Tigers.

  • Players like Kerry Carpenter (8 home runs) and Riley Greene (4 home runs in the last 10 games) provide a powerful offensive threat.

• Rangers’ Struggles:

  • The Rangers have struggled on the road with a 6-12 record, and their overall 18-20 record reflects inconsistency. They’ve been decent offensively, ranking 8th in the AL in runs scored.

  • Patrick Corbin has been solid with a 3.28 ERA but has struggled with a higher WHIP (1.50). His ability to manage the Tigers’ offense will be key in this matchup.

  • Adolis Garcia has been leading the Rangers with 5 home runs and 20 RBIs, and Josh Smith has also been contributing with 1 home run and 4 RBIs over the last 10 games.

Betting Recommendations:

• Moneyline: The Tigers are heavily favored at -271, reflecting their strong home record and Skubal’s solid pitching form. The Tigers are the safer pick here, though the Rangers at +220 provide potential value if you're looking for an underdog bet, especially with their offensive power.

• Run Line: The Tigers -1.5 (-120) makes a lot of sense, considering their dominant form and pitching advantage with Skubal. The Rangers +1.5 offers some value if you expect a closer game, but the Tigers should be able to win by more than a run.

• Total: The over/under is set at 7.5 runs. Given both teams' current pitching and offensive form, betting on the under 7.5 runs could be a solid choice, particularly with Skubal’s dominant pitching and Corbin’s solid but not overpowering form.

Conclusion: Betting on the Tigers -1.5 at -120 offers strong value, considering their home dominance and Skubal’s form.
