Red Sox vs. Tigers Betting Prediction
I like Detroit in this game. The Tigers have been stellar in several relevant scenarios this year. Detroit is 4-2 straight up as a home underdog and 21-9 straight up in American League games this season. What’s more, the Tigers are 19-13 straight up in non-division games and 20-14 straight up when playing on no rest this year. And finally, Detroit is 24-14 straight up when playing an opponent on equal rest and 15-5 straight up as the home team in 2025. For those reasons, I like the Tigers to win outright on Tuesday night. The pick is Detroit -105 on the money line over Boston at Bovada.lv.
