Detroit Tigers vs Texas Rangers Prediction

I’ll try the Tigers here. Flaherty should be able to put Detroit into a good position if all goes well. Earlier this month Flaherty put up five earned runs on 12 hits and three walks over 12.1 combined innings in a pair of starts, going 1-1. He’s coming off 6.2 clean frames on one hit and one walk versus the Red Sox on May 30, though.

On Monday the Tigers got a pair of solo blasts from Jake Rogers in the low-scoring win but there wasn’t much else happening on offense. Thankfully Skubal and Beau Brieske (3.0 innings; one hit; no walks; four Ks) were in charge on the mound. Flaherty should be okay as well, but Detroit has to get the bats going.
