Cincinnati Reds vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
I’m not excited to get behind either Miley or Gipson-Long, as they’re both working their way back into the rotation. Miley has pitched just seven innings, and he’s allowed 11 hits and seven runs. Gipson-Long has pitched 8.1 innings, and he’s allowed eight hits and four runs. Not great on either side. With that said, Gipson-Long has been the better pitcher, and the Tigers are at home while also being the better team. Steep price for two pitchers not in great form, but I’ll still lay the RL with the Tigers for max betting value.
