Detroit Tigers @ Pittsburgh Pirates Preview

The Detroit Tigers, holding a strong 60-42 record this season, are set to face the Pittsburgh Pirates. Despite their overall solid record, the Tigers have been in a recent slump, going 1-8 straight up in their last nine games. However, they have shown resilience in day games, winning each of their last four. The Tigers also boast a stronger batting average and on-base percentage, ranking 9th in the league in these categories. A notable development for Detroit is the anticipated debut of top prospect Troy Melton, which could provide a spark for the team.

The Pittsburgh Pirates enter this contest having won their last two games against the Tigers. While they have a favorable head-to-head record against Detroit, winning 9 of their last 12 matchups, the Pirates have struggled at home against American League opponents following a win, losing seven of their last eight such games. The Pirates have been underdogs in 70 games this season, winning 27 of those contests (38.6%).

Pick: Detroit Tigers -1.5 (+112)

widget-odds-mlb-ats-11642-DET-PIT

Despite the Detroit Tigers' recent overall slump, their strong season record and positive trend in day games make them an appealing pick. While the Pirates have had recent success against the Tigers head-to-head, a significant trend works against them in this specific scenario: the Pirates have lost seven of their last eight home games against American League opponents following a win. Given that the Pirates won their last game, this trend favors the Tigers. The Tigers are also introducing top prospect Troy Melton, which could provide an offensive boost. Taking the Tigers to cover the -1.5 spread at +112 offers good value, banking on their ability to bounce back and the Pirates' specific home trend.
