Tigers vs. Rangers Betting Prediction
Detroit has been scuffling of late. The Tigers are currently mired in a 6-game losing streak. Luckily for them, 2024 AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal is set to take the hill on Sunday night. Skubal has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season after winning the pitching Triple Crown last year. In 19 starts spanning 121.0 innings this year, the big lefty is 10-3 with a 2.23 ERA, a 0.83 WHIP, a 9.6 strikeout-to-walk ratio, an 11.4 K/9, and a .193 opponent batting average. Perhaps most importantly, the Tigers are 14-5 straight up in games that Tarik Skubal has started this season. Someone is going to pull Detroit out of the funk that they’re currently in, and I think it’s going to be Tarik Skubal on Sunday. The pick is Detroit -188 on the money line over Texas at Bovada.lv.
