Predictions
The Tigers come into this game with momentum following their series-opening win, thanks to Keider Montero’s complete-game shutout. Casey Mize has been solid over his last three starts, allowing six earned runs over 16.2 innings. He’ll look to build on that against a struggling Rockies lineup. The key for Colorado will be rookie Tanner Gordon, who has yet to win a game in his first seven starts and currently holds a 7.55 ERA.
Detroit’s offense has been clicking lately, with Riley Greene showing strong form at the plate. Meanwhile, the Rockies will need contributions from players like Ryan McMahon to compete in this game.
Score Prediction: Tigers 6, Rockies 3

- Detroit Tigers Recent Trends: The Tigers have been strong at home, and seven of their last eight games have gone under the total runs line. Casey Mize has recorded four or more strikeouts in each of his last three home starts, and Riley Greene has been a force offensively, with home runs in three of his last five night games against National League opponents.
- Colorado Rockies Recent Trends: The Rockies have struggled, with seven of their last eight games going under the total runs line as well.
