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.
