Reds vs Tigers Prediction
The Tigers won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including the last five. I am backing Detroit to get another win because Jack Flaherty has been sensational of late. He allowed just one run in his previous three starts, even though he faced the likes of the Cubs and Giants, some of the best offenses in the MLB. Brady Singer, on the other hand, surrendered multiple runs in each of his last seven starts, and he’s coming off a poor May, when he posted a 6.39 ERA. Back the Tigers.
