Colorado Rockies vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

I’ll stick with the Tigers. Probably not touching it, though. Both starters have been pretty sketchy on the mound lately. Montero has given up 10 earned runs over his last three starts in 14.1 innings total. As for Blalock, he’s got 12 earned runs in his last 14.1 innings over three starts, going 1-2 in that trio.

Detroit has scored pretty well lately, notching four or more runs in four of their last five games. The Tigers have given up three or more runs in three of those five, however, so they’ll need a good pitching performance across the board Tuesday.
