Tigers vs. Reds Picks
Money Line Pick for Tigers vs. Reds
- Detroit Tigers ML (4 Units)
The Tigers have the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring at least five runs in five of their last six games. They’ve done very well against right-handers, and Singer has been shaky on the mound in recent starts, giving up 10 runs in his last three starts, so expect him to have a hard time slowing down the Tigers.
The Reds will have a hard time keeping up offensively because they’re one of the worst offensive teams in the league. They’re barely batting over .200 against right-handers, and Flaherty has done well on the mound in recent starts, giving up four runs in his last three starts, so expect him to keep Cincinnati’s offense in check. Take Detroit on the money line.
Over/Under Pick for Tigers vs. Reds
- Under (4 Units)
The Tigers average 4.38 runs per game. They’re batting .256 against right-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up four runs in his last two home starts. The Reds average 3.88 runs per game. They’re batting .207 against right-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up three runs in his last two road starts. Don’t expect these teams to score enough runs to push the score over the total.
