The New York Mets and Detroit Tigers face off on Wednesday in an MLB showdown at Comerica Park. This is a  doubleheader. 

Mets Betting Preview

The Mets sit with a 16-13 record overall and they have gone 15-14 on the run line. On Monday the Mets faced off against the Atlanta Braves and they were able to secure the 5-3 victory. The Mets are averaging 4.65 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.34 runs per game. The offense and pitching are both ranked 12th best in baseball. On the mound for the Mets in Game 1 will be Max Scherzer who sits with a 2-1 record and an ERA of 3.72. In his last start against the Dodgers he gave up only one hit and zero runs in three innings. 

Tigers Betting Preview

The Tigers sit with a 10-17 record overall and they have lost two games in a row. On Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles, the Tigers offense only managed three runs and that led to the defeat. The Tigers are averaging 3.26 runs while their pitching is giving up 5.0 runs per game. The offense is ranked 30th in baseball and they need to find a way to get that going. On the mound for the Tigers in  game 1 is Michael Lorenzen who sits with an 0-1 record and an ERA of 7.07. In his last start against the Milwaukee Brewers he went five innings giving up seven hits and five runs. 

Mets vs Tigers Trends

Under is 2-0-2 in Tigers last 4 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record. Under is 7-1-1 in Mets last 9 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter. Under is 7-1 in Mets last 8 during game 2 of a series. Under is 9-2-1 in Tigers last 12 games as an underdog.

Shane’s Free Pick

In Game 1 of the doubleheader it’s going to be the Mets show. Max Scherzer is going to lockdown, and that is going to be the difference here as the Mets are going to win in blowout fashion. Back the Mets -2.5. 

In Game 2, I expect it’s going to be a higher scoring game. Wentz especially can’t be trusted for the Tigers and the Mets are going to get close to this number by themselves. This game is going to be a shootout. Back the over. 

Shane’s Pick Game 1: Mets 2.5 / Game 2: Over
