Tigers vs Rockies Prediction 

Detroit comes into this series as one of the top teams in the MLB so far this year, but they are just 9-10 on the road. Detroit just dominated the Angels in three of the four games in the series, and they will start Jobe, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. Colorado has just six wins on the season, and they are going with Dollander, who has allowed 5+ runs in two of his last three starts. I don’t trust the Rockies at all, and I think Detroit will roll to another big win here.
