Detroit Tigers vs San Diego Padres Prediction

This game is going to be higher scoring. I especially don’t Mize who sits with an ERA of 4.36 and a record of 2-6. Perez has also been inconsistent and in his last start, he gave up four runs. The Tigers are going to tee off on Perez early and that is going to be the difference here. There is going to be no shortage of scoring here, and this game is going to end up over the total. Back the over to cash.
