Predictions
This doubleheader will focus on two pitchers seeking redemption. In the first game, Kyle Gibson of the Cardinals will face a Tigers lineup that has been scoring frequently as he tries to improve upon his 4.35 ERA. Meanwhile, Jack Flaherty, who has 36 strikeouts this season despite his 4.91 ERA, will take the mound for the Tigers. Given the recent offensive production from both teams, it may be a high-scoring game.
Game two tilts the scales slightly in favor of the Tigers. Their undisclosed pitcher will face Steven Matz, who has had his share of struggles with a 5.55 ERA. Detroit’s bats have connected well lately, hinting at continued trouble for Matz.
More
The Tigers are riding high with players like Riley Greene, who has a knack for hitting long balls in daylight. Keep an eye on the Cardinals’ Nolan Arenado, who consistently scores in day games against American League teams with winning records. The Tigers’ reputation as leaders in triples and their ability to keep opponents’ batting averages low will face a challenge from the Cardinals, who are determined to improve their 29th ranking in hits and home runs this season.
