The upcoming Tigers vs Braves matchup promises an intriguing encounter. The Tigers, currently sporting a 34-39 record, are looking to avoid a sweep after dropping the first two games in the series. Their offense has struggled, producing only one run in each of the past three games. The Braves, on the other hand, have been on a hot streak, holding a 40-31 record and winning five of their last six games.

Predictions
Given the solid pitching from both sides, this game appears poised for a low-scoring affair. Skubal has been reliable for the Tigers despite their recent struggles, and Lopez has been stellar for the Braves. My prediction is that this game will see limited runs, making the under 7.5 a favorable bet.
Starting Pitchers:
- Tigers: Tarik Skubal (8-2, 2.20 ERA, 0.91 WHIP)
- Braves: Reynaldo Lopez (4-2, 1.69 ERA, 1.04 WHIP)

More
Detroit comes into this game after strong pitching performances but with an offensive slump. Star player Riley Greene has a .255 batting average with 14 home runs and 37 RBIs, but the team’s overall offensive production has been unsatisfactory. Meanwhile, Marcell Ozuna has been a standout for Atlanta, batting .320 with 20 home runs and 63 RBIs.
As the Detroit Tigers hope to end their losing streak, fans will be keenly watching whether they can overcome their batting woes. The Braves are currently second in the NL East, trailing behind the Phillies, and looking to solidify their position.
This game is not just a test of skill but also of resilience for both teams. With two strong pitchers on the mound, expect a tightly contested matchup.
