Rangers vs Tigers Prediction
Detroit suffered a rare blowout loss on Saturday, and they got a rough start from Flaherty, but their pitching staff has been very good for most of this season. The Tigers are 14-4 at home this year, while the Rangers are 7-13 on the road. Texas has also had a strong start from their pitchers this season, and they are going with Eovaldi, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in three straight starts. Detroit is starting Olson, who has allowed a total of three earned runs over his last four starts. Both of these starters are pitching at a very high level right now, and I like the under in this game.
