Still crazy that the Tigers have the best record in baseball, but here we are. Give me Detroit.

In this article, we will formulate a Cardinals vs Tigers prediction for this MLB game on Monday, May 19, at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.

Detroit Tigers Betting Preview

The Detroit Tigers (31-16, 14-11 Away) bounced back from a series loss to the Rangers with a sweep of the Red Sox and a series win against the Blue Jays. In the most recent 3-2 victory in Toronto, Spencer Torkelson drove in all three runs, while Jackson Jobe got the win after allowing two runs on six hits with five strikeouts and two walks across 6.0 innings of work.

This season, the Tigers average 5.38 runs per game (4th in the MLB) on a .260/.333/.424 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Tigers’ staff has a 3.21 ERA (4th) and 1.16 WHIP (4th). Spencer Torkelson leads the Tigers with a .244 batting average, 12 home runs, and 38 RBI this season.

Keider Montero will take the mound for the Tigers on Monday. The 24-year-old right-hander has a 1-1 record in four starts this year with a 4.68 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 25.0 innings.

St. Louis Cardinals Betting Preview

The St. Louis Cardinals (26-21, 15-6 Home) are in excellent form right now. They have won 12 of the previous 14 games and are on a seven-series winning streak. The Cards failed to sweep the Royals in the latest series, though, losing 2-1. Matthew Liberatore pitched for 6.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing one run on six hits with five strikeouts and one walk. Chris Roycroft took the loss.

This year, the Cardinals average 4.77 runs per game (8th in the MLB) on a .262/.334/.404 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Cardinals’ staff has a 3.72 ERA (12th) and 1.22 WHIP (10th). Willson Contreras leads the Cardinals with a .249 batting average, six home runs, and 26 RBI this season.

The projected starting pitcher for the Cardinals is Sonny Gray, who is 4-1 in nine starts this season, with a 4.50 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 50.0 innings.

Why the Cardinals will beat the Tigers

  • The Cardinals have won seven of their last eight games against AL Central opponents.
  • The Tigers have lost each of their last four night games against NL Central opponents following a win.
  • The Cardinals have covered the run line in seven of their last eight games against teams that held a winning record.
  • The Tigers have failed to cover the run line in each of their last five night games following a win.
  • The Tigers have trailed after 5 innings in each of their last three road games against NL Central opponents that held a winning record.

Total Runs Facts

  • Eight of the Tigers’ last 10 night games after playing the previous day have gone OVER the total runs line.
  • Four of the Cardinals’ last five games against American League opponents have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in eight of the Tigers’ last nine road games against NL Central opponents.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in eight of the Cardinals’ last nine night games against AL Central opponents.

Matchup/League Facts

  • The Tigers rank 4th in the league for hits this season (418).
  • The Tigers rank 4th in the league for RBIs this season (241).

Cardinals vs Tigers Prediction

The Tigers won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including four of the last six. I am backing the Cardinals in this one because of Sonny Gray and a favorable pitching matchup. Gray struggled in his last start against Philly, and I am sure he will bounce back on Monday. Sonny allowed a .177 BA in 62 at-bats against the Tigers. Keider Montero, on the other hand, allowed 3+ runs in three of his four starts this year. The Cards wills core 3+ off him in the opening five innings. Go with the Cardinals.

Blue Jays vs Tigers Prediction

I’m on the Tigers in this one. Berrios just has not been as sharp at home as he’s been in past seasons with the Blue Jays, and I just don’t know if I love this spot for him. The Tigers have been sharper at home for sure, but even on the road, when this team gets knocked down, they don’t stay down for long, having lost back-to-back games just four times all season. Jackson Jobe has had control issues at times, but he gets the run support as the Tigers are still 7-0 as a team in his starts. I think the Tigers salvage something here, so give me Detroit in this one.

Blue Jays vs Tigers Prediction

I’m on the over here. I get the case to be made for either side here, but you have two starting pitchers that haven’t necessarily been the most reliable options for their respective teams this season. In terms of keeping runs off the board. Bowden Francis has been one of the most home run-prone pitchers in baseball. Despite the Tigers’ stellar record, Flaherty has been on the bump for almost half of their losses as a team this season and has been far less effective on the road. Give me the over here.

I’m on the Tigers in this one. I get the case to be made for the Red Sox as a sizeable underdog, as Dobbins has been pretty solid up to this point in his rookie year. However, the Tigers are just a different animal right now, especially at home, and I just think this could be where Dobbins has his worst start as a major-leaguer. I don’t see him matching zeroes with Skubal, the defending CY Young champ, and I think that Detroit completes the sweep here.

The Tigers are worth a look with the way they’ve played up to this point, but I’ve never been a fan of these bullpen games. You have to rely on way too many arms to get to the finish line. Holton also hasn’t been good at home through 9.1 innings, as he has a 4.82 ERA and .278 allowed batting average. Bello is starting to find his footing, as he’s allowed eight hits and one run in his last 11.1 innings. The Red Sox are 4-0 this season when Bello pitches. We’re getting a cheap price and a more trustworthy pitching situation. I have to side with the Red Sox on Tuesday night.

Tigers vs Red Sox Prediction 

Detroit comes into this matchup after a rare series loss to Texas over the weekend, but they are still 14-5 at home so far this year. Detroit has had a great start to their season, but they allowed 16 runs in games two and three to Texas. The Tigers are starting Jobe, who has allowed nine earned runs and 12 hits in his last 7.2 innings. Boston is just 11-11 on the road this year, but they are starting to heat up. The Red Sox are starting Houck, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four outings. I really don’t trust either starting pitcher in this matchup, so I am siding with the over here.

The Texas Rangers and the Detroit Tigers meet Sunday in MLB action from Comerica Park. This will be the finale in a three-game weekend series. Here’s a Tigers vs Rangers prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Tigers vs Rangers pick.

Texas Rangers Betting Preview

The Rangers opened up 2025 with a set win versus the Red Sox, then took out the Cincinnati Reds in two of three and swept the Tampa Bay Rays. After losing a set to the Chicago Cubs and the Seattle Mariners, the Rangers managed to sweep the Los Angeles Angels. Set losses against the Oakland Athletics (twice) and San Francisco Giants came next during the next three matchups, then losses to Seattle in their first two weekend games before a sweep-stopping Sunday win. The Rangers beat the Red Sox on Tuesday in their series opener, then fell in the next two games. On Friday, Texas couldn’t get much going on three team hits and ended up taking a 2-1 loss. Starting pitcher Patrick Corbin gave up both earned runs in 7.0 innings on three hits and four walks, while Sam Haggerty had the lone RBI.

In the Saturday matchup, the Rangers powered out a 10-3 victory, scoring twice in three different innings. Texas’ Corey Seager put up two homers, three hits, three RBI, and three runs along the way. Starter Jacob deGrom finished with 5.0 innings and two earned runs.

For the starter gig on Sunday, Texas will send out Nathan Eovaldi. This year, Eovaldi is 3-2 with a 2.03 ERA in eight starts across 48.2 innings of work. Eovaldi is 94-83 with a 4.01 ERA in 302 career games (283 starts).

Detroit Tigers Betting Preview

Over on the Detroit side, they fell in their first series of 2025 versus the Dodgers in a sweep, then took out the Seattle Mariners, Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees, and Minnesota Twins in the next four matchups. After a series loss to the Brewers, Detroit would take series wins over the Royals, Padres, and Orioles. Detroit lost a series against the Houston Astros, then beat the Angels in three of four. The Tigers kept it going with a sweep over the Colorado Rockies this past week, winning 8-6, 10-2, and 11-1. In the Friday opener versus the Rangers, Detroit only had three hits themselves, but still got the job done. Colt Keith had two hits with a run and an RBI, and Tarik Skubal was great on 7.0 innings, two hits, one earned, no walks, and 12 strikeouts.

In game two, the Tigers were down 5-1 by the third inning and couldn’t dig out of the hole. Detroit got solo homers from Kerry Carpenter (three hits; two runs) and Riley Greene. Starter Jack Flaherty logged 3.0 innings with five earned runs on four hits and two walks.

Starter for the Sunday game will be Detroit’s Reese Olson. This year, Olson is 4-2 with a 3.03 ERA in seven starts and 38.2 innings total. Olson is 13-17 with a 3.64 ERA in 50 games (47 starts) in his career.

Why the Detroit Tigers will win

  • The Tigers have won each of their last six day games against AL West opponents following a loss.
  • The Rangers have lost each of their last eight games as underdogs against American League opponents following a road win.
  • The Tigers have covered the run line in each of their last six games as favorites following a loss.
  • The Rangers have failed to cover the run line in nine of their last 10 road games against AL Central opponents following a road win.
  • The Tigers have led after 3 innings in each of their last seven day games.
  • The Tigers have led after 5 innings in each of their last seven day games.

Why the Texas Rangers will win

  • The Tigers have lost each of their last eight Sunday games as home favorites against AL West opponents.
  • The Rangers have won seven of their last eight day games against AL Central opponents.
  • The Tigers have failed to cover the run line in each of their last nine Sunday games as home favorites against AL West opponents.
  • The Rangers have covered the run line each of their last six road games against teams that held a winning record.
  • The Rangers have led after 3 innings in five of their last six road games against opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Rangers have won the first inning in three of their last four road games against opponents that held a winning record.

Total Runs Facts

  • Seven of the Rangers’ last eight day games after playing the previous day have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • Each of the Tigers’ last four day games after playing the previous day have gone OVER the total runs line.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in each of the Tigers’ last seven games as home favorites against American League opponents.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in nine of the Rangers’ last 11 day games against American League opponents.

Tigers vs Rangers Prediction

I’ll lean toward the Tigers. Olson took a loss on April 29 versus the Astros, going 5.2 innings with three earned runs on four hits and three walks. Olson has been great in the other pair of his last three starts, though, notching a combined 13.0 innings, zero earned runs, five hits, and four walks during two victories. As for Eovaldi, he’s been no slouch himself over the last trio. Eovaldi is 2-0 in those three, with just two earned runs in 18.0 innings on 14 hits and two walks. We should have a pretty great starter battle here if both guys are on point.

Detroit didn’t have a very good outing from anybody on Saturday. Flaherty’s start was rough, and the bullpen got beat up quite a bit. The Tigers are going to need a big bounce-back effort in the finale.

The Texas Rangers and the Detroit Tigers meet Friday in MLB action from Comerica Park. This will be the first installment in a three-game weekend series. Here’s a Tigers vs Rangers prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Tigers vs Rangers pick.

Texas Rangers Betting Preview

The Rangers kicked off their season with a series victory over the Red Sox, then beat the Cincinnati Reds in two of three ahead of a sweep versus the Tampa Bay Rays. Following a lost series to the Chicago Cubs and the Seattle Mariners, the Rangers managed a sweep over the Los Angeles Angels. Set losses against the Oakland Athletics (two times) and San Francisco Giants ensued during the next three matchups, then defeats versus Seattle in their first two weekend games before a sweep-stopping Sunday win. The Rangers opened their series versus the Red Sox with a 6-1 win on Tuesday. In game two, Texas took a 6-4 loss despite holding a lead for much of the evening. Starter Tyler Mahle finished with 5.0 innings, four hits, and two earned runs.

In the Thursday finale, the Rangers couldn’t find any momentum at the plate on five team hits, falling in a 5-0 shutout in the end. Starter Jack Leiter lasted 5.1 innings with four earned runs on three hits and four walks, while Joc Pederson managed three walks in an ultimately futile effort.

As a starter for Friday’s game, the Rangers are sending out Patrick Corbin. So far this year, Corbin is 2-1 with a 3.28 ERA in five starts over 24.2 innings. Corbin is 105-132 in his career with a 4.50 ERA in 357 games (329 starts).

Detroit Tigers Betting Preview

Over on the Detroit side, they lost an opening set this year versus the Dodgers in a sweep, then beat the Seattle Mariners, Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees, and Minnesota Twins in the next four series. After a set loss to the Brewers, Detroit got back to it with series wins over the Royals, Padres, and Orioles. Detroit would drop another set against the Houston Astros, then beat the Angels in three of four. On Wednesday versus Colorado, Detroit was down 3-0 early but rallied to make it competitive and eventually won in 10 innings, 8-6. Jackson Jobe had a rough start, though, giving up six earned runs on eight hits and a walk in 3.2 frames.

In game one of the Thursday doubleheader, the Tigers scored five runs in the second inning during a 10-2 victory. Starter Casey Mize lasted 6.0 innings with one earned run on three hits, no walks, and eight Ks. In the nightcap, Detroit kept it rolling, scoring six runs in the third inning on the way to an 11-1 blowout.

As a starter for Friday, the Tigers are going with Tarik Skubal. So far in 2025, Skubal is 3-2 with a 2.21 ERA in seven starts and 40.2 innings total. Skubal is 44-33 with a 3.29 ERA in 113 career games (110 starts).

Why the Detroit Tigers will win

  • The Tigers have won nine of their last 10 games against teams that held a losing record.
  • The Rangers have lost eight of their last nine road games after playing the previous day.
  • The Rangers have failed to cover the run line in each of their last six road games against American League opponents after playing the previous day.
  • The Tigers have covered the run line in nine of their last 10 night games against American League opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Tigers have led after 3 innings in each of their last four home games.
  • The Tigers have led after 5 innings in each of their last four home games.

Why the Texas Rangers will win

  • The underdogs have won four of the Rangers’ last five games at Comerica Park.
  • The Tigers have lost eight of their last 11 games as home favorites against AL West opponents following a win.
  • The Rangers have covered the run line in eight of their last nine games at Comerica Park against teams that held a winning record.
  • The Tigers have failed to cover the run line in six of their last seven games against the Rangers following a win.
  • The Rangers have won the first inning in three of their last four road games against opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Tigers have trailed after 3 innings in each of their last four night games.
  • The Rangers have led after 5 innings in each of their last four road night games.

Total Runs Facts

  • Nine of the Tigers’ last 10 games have gone OVER the total runs line.
  • Seven of the Rangers’ last eight road games have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in each of the Tigers’ last six games as home favorites against American League opponents.
  • The ‘Inning 1 OVER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in four of the Rangers’ last five games as underdogs against AL Central opponents.

Tigers vs Rangers Prediction

I’ll stick with the Tigers. This should be a pretty great starter matchup if both guys are on point, though. Skubal is doing very well over his last trio, with a 1-0 record and just three earned runs on 15 hits and a walk in 17.0 combined innings. Skubal is coming off a no-decision versus the Angels on May 2. As for Corbin, he’s posted just five earned runs over his last three starts combined, giving up 19 hits and five walks over a span of 15.1 innings. Corbin is 1-1 in that trio, and last went 5.2 innings with one earned in a no-decision versus the Mariners on May 3.

Detroit was excellent in their doubleheader on Thursday, scoring a whopping 21 runs over the course of two outings. That makes four straight wins, with eight or more runs scored in each, and I like the Tigers to keep it going Friday. All of that said, however, the line’s probably too thick to mess with.

Major League Baseball presents Draftkings baseball fans with an interleague matchup featuring the Detroit Tigers and the Colorado Rockies. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Detroit Tigers vs. Colorado Rockies game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings MLB single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for today’s Detroit Tigers vs. Colorado Rockies matchup.

Draftkings MLB Showdown Picks

Captain-Casey Mize, Starting Pitcher, Detroit Tigers $11,800

On Thursday afternoon, Major League Baseball presents the second game of a three-game interleague series featuring the Detroit Tigers and the Colorado Rockies.

How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The Detroit Tigers arrive at the second game of this three-game series with the Colorado Rockies playing good baseball. The Tigers have won five of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 9-1 defeat of the Los Angeles Angels last week.

In direct contrast to the Detroit Tigers, the Colorado Rockies are not playing well entering this afternoon’s game. The Rockies have lost four of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 4-0 shutout loss to the San Francisco Giants six days ago.

Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our attention to this afternoon’s contest. Starting pitcher Casey Mize has been a standout performer for the Detroit Tigers this season. With that said, how has Mize performed from a statistical perspective in 2025? Let’s review the veteran hurler’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

Through six starts made this season, Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize has compiled an impressive 5-1 (win-loss record), a 2.70 ERA (Earned Run Average) and a 1.09 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched). It should also be noted that Casey Mize has amassed 27 strikeouts while allowing nine walks in 36.2 innings pitched this season.

More recently, in the Detroit Tigers 3-1 win over the Kansas City Royals last month, Detroit starting pitcher Casey Mize pitched rather well. Let me be more specific. Mize pitched seven quality innings while scattering four hits and one walk in the Detroit Tigers defeat of the Royals.

In my opinion, Casey Mize is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in today’s MLB regular season game. Having stated that, I am backing Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize at the captain position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Flex plays I like to play well in this MLB regular season contest (Draftkings price noted): Kyle Freeland, Starting Pitcher (Colorado Rockies) $10,400: Jordan Beck, Outfielder (Colorado Rockies) $6,400: Javier Baez, Outfielder (Detroit Tigers) $7,000.

Rockies vs Tigers Prediction

Game 1 Prediction: The Rockies have won just three games since April 11, so it’s hard to back them with confidence most nights, regardless. This isn’t one of those spots. Mize has been terrific this season, allowing 31 hits and 11 runs in 36.2 innings, and he’s gotten double-digit groundballs in each of his last three starts. Freeland has allowed 47 hits and 23 earned runs in 36.1 innings, and he has an 8.53 ERA and .356 allowed batting average in 12.2 home innings. This should be a comfortable road win for a Tigers’ offense that should be extremely excited about this matchup.

Game 2 Prediction: It would be nice to know who the Tigers are throwing out there on the mound, but who cares? Again, the Rockies have won three games since April 11. Gordon will also pitch for the first time this season. Last year as a rookie, Gordon racked up an 8.65 ERA and .356 allowed batting average in 34.1 innings. I want nothing to do with the Rockies in this doubleheader on Thursday. Give me the Tigers to sweep the board.

In this article, we will formulate a Rockies vs Tigers prediction for this MLB game on Wednesday, May 7, at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.

Detroit Tigers Betting Preview

The Detroit Tigers (22-13, 9-10 Away) are currently undertaking a three-series road trip. They experienced a loss to the Astros but achieved victory against the Angels, winning three of four games. In their most recent outing, the Tigers recorded a season-high of 13 runs, resulting in a 13-1 win over the Angels. Trey Sweeney led the team with a personal best of six RBI, while Kerry Carpenter added five RBI. Reese Olson was credited with the win, having allowed no runs on three hits, along with eight strikeouts and three walks across 5.2 innings.

This season, the Tigers average 5.11 runs per game (5th in the MLB) on a .255/.332/.423 slash line. Regarding pitching, the Tigers’ staff has a 2.96 ERA (3rd) and 1.14 WHIP (3rd). Spencer Torkelson leads the Tigers with a .234 batting average, ten home runs, and 27 RBI this season.

The projected starting pitcher for the Tigers is Jackson Jobe, who is 2-0 in five starts this season, with a 3.38 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 24.0 innings.

Colorado Rockies Betting Preview

The Colorado Rockies (6-28, 4-11 at home) celebrated their first two consecutive wins of the season against the Braves and Giants, but soon fell back into a losing streak, enduring three straight losses and a series defeat to the Giants. In their most recent match, a 9-3 loss to San Francisco, German Marquez struggled significantly, suffering the loss after giving up five runs on six hits, achieving three strikeouts without any walks in 4.1 innings.

This year, the Rockies average 3.12 runs per game (30th in the MLB) on a .209/.278/.342 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Rockies’ staff has a 5.38 ERA (28th) and 1.55 WHIP (29th). Hunter Goodman leads the Rockies with a .274 batting average, five home runs, and 17 RBI this season.

Chase Dollander will take the mound for the Rockies on Wednesday. The 23-year-old right-hander has a 2-3 record in five starts this year with a 6.48 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 25.0 innings.

Why the Tigers will cover

  • The Rockies have lost each of their last 15 games as underdogs following a road loss.
  • The Tigers have won six of their last seven games against teams that held a losing record.
  • The Tigers have covered the run line each of their last four night games against NL West opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Rockies have failed to cover the run line in five of their last six night games against American League opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Tigers have led after 5 innings in eight of their last nine games as favorites against NL West opponents.
  • The Tigers have led after 3 innings in seven of their last nine games as favorites against NL West opponents.

Total Runs Facts

  • Each of the Rockies’ last five home games have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • Six of the Tigers’ last seven road games have gone OVER the total runs line.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in each of the Rockies’ last six Tuesday night games.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in five of the Tigers’ last six games as favorites.

Matchup/League Facts

  • The Rockies rank 30th in the league for RBIs this season (105).
  • The Rockies rank 30th in the league for batting average this season (.209).
  • The Tigers rank 3rd in the league for ERA this season (2.96).
  • The Tigers rank 4th in the league for hits allowed this season (248).

Rockies vs Tigers Prediction

The Tigers won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including four of the last five. It is quite surprising that Chase Dollander is at the top of the Rockies’ wins chart with two this season, despite his inflated ERA of 6.48. He had a commendable performance against the Braves in his last outing, yet he is still aiming for his first quality start of the year. Conversely, Jackson Jobe has managed to keep his opponents to three runs or fewer in every game so far, and I seriously doubt that the least efficient team in MLB will surpass that on Wednesday. With Detroit currently in a stronger position, I am favoring the Tigers to win and cover the run line.

Why the Tigers will beat the Rockies

  • The Tigers have won each of their last four night games against NL West opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Tigers have covered the run line in each of their last five games as road favorites against National League opponents.

  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in each of the Rockies’ last six Tuesday games.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in five of the Tigers’ last six games as road favorites against NL West opponents.

Colorado Rockies Player Prop Facts

  • Alan Trejo has scored a run in each of his five previous appearances against AL Central opponents that held a winning record.
  • Kris Bryant has hit a home run in four of his last five Tuesday appearances against AL teams that held a winning record.

Rockies vs Tigers Prediction 

Detroit comes into this series as one of the top teams in the MLB so far this year, but they are just 9-10 on the road. Detroit just dominated the Angels in three of the four games in the series, and they will start Jobe, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. Colorado has just six wins on the season, and they are going with Dollander, who has allowed 5+ runs in two of his last three starts. I don’t trust the Rockies at all, and I think Detroit will roll to another big win here.

Angels vs Tigers Prediction

I’m on the Tigers here. I just think that Detroit’s the better team in this matchup. While I’ve had issues backing Reese Olson in the past, I still think he’s the better starting option here, as Kochanowicz has been prone to giving up runs in bunches as of late. The Tigers also have a much better bullpen when all is said and done, so give me the Tigers in this game.

Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with an American League matchup featuring the Detroit Tigers and the Los Angeles Angels. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Detroit Tigers vs. Los Angeles Angels game let’s review the rules for the FanDuel single game showdown contest.

FanDuel Single Game Contest Rules

Here are the FanDuel single game contest rules. You have $60,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team MVP. The MVP accumulates 1.5x times the standard FanDuel fantasy points value. Additionally, the MVP is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining five players in your lineup will be flex plays. The five flex positions will receive the standard FanDuel points value. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your MVP position if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) FanDuel single game contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game contest, I highly recommend that you check out the FanDuel website for more details.

*It should be noted that FanDuel does not utilize the pitcher position in single game MLB contests. Having stated that, only batters are available for single game MLB lineups on the FanDuel platform.

Here are my FanDuel picks for this evening’s Detroit Tigers vs. Los Angeles Angels matchup.

FanDuel MLB Player Selections

MVP-Kerry Carpenter, Outfielder, Detroit Tigers $10,800

On Saturday night, Major League Baseball presents the third game of a four-game American League series featuring Detroit Tigers and the Los Angeles Angels.

How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The Detroit Tigers arrive at the third game of this four-game American League series with the Los Angeles Angels playing rather good baseball. The Tigers have won seven of the team’s last nine games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 7-0 shutout win over the Baltimore Orioles last week.

Conversely, the Los Angeles Angels have been playing below average baseball recently. More specifically, the Angels have lost seven of the team’s last eight games played this season, including a 9-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners four days ago.

Now that we have determined how both of these Major League Baseball teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to this evening’s contest. Veteran outfielder Kerry Carpenter has certainly been playing quality baseball for the Detroit Tigers this season. Let’s examine Carpenter’s recent game data to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the 29 games that Kerry Carpenter has played for the Detroit Tigers this season, Carpenter has compiled a .265 batting average, 29 hits, 14 RBIs (runs batted in), two walks, seven home runs, a .306 OBS (On-Base Percentage) and 16 runs scored. Clearly, Kerry Carpenter is swinging the bat at a high-level entering tonight’s MLB game.

More recently, in the Houston Astros 6-4 win over the Detroit Tigers five days ago, Detroit outfielder Kerry Carpenter played rather well. In the Astros victory over the Tigers, Carpenter amassed two hits, one RBI, one home run, one double and two runs scored. It should also be mentioned that in the Astros defeat of the Tigers, Carpenter tallied a massive 27.9 FanDuel points.

In my view, Kerry Carpenter is the most likely player to accumulate the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. With that said, I am backing Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): Zach Neto, Shortstop (Los Angeles Angels) $12,200: Riley Greene, Outfielder (Detroit Tigers) $11,600: Dillon Dingler, Catcher (Detroit Tigers) $8,800.

Angels vs Tigers Prediction

The Tigers have torn the cover off the ball these last couple of weeks, and there’s no reason to think things stop now. Hendricks has been a mess these last two seasons, and that includes giving up 20 hits and 17 runs in 23 innings this season. Hendricks also has 12 walks to go with 13 strikeouts. The Angels also aren’t scoring runs and have lost seven straight games overall.

The Angels are 5-16 since starting the season with a 7-3 record. Flaherty has had his shaky moments through 32.1 innings and needs to limit his walk rate, but it’s nothing compared to what the Angels are doing right now. We’ve been making a killing fading the Angels during this losing stretch, and there’s no reason to stop now. Give me the Tigers and the RL for max betting value.
