Reds vs Tigers Prediction 

Detroit is coming off another series win earlier this week, and they continue to be red hot to start this season. The Tigers are 23-9 at home this season, while the Reds are 17-18 on the road. Cincinnati is also coming off a series win, and they are starting Martinez, who has allowed 1, 5, and 3 earned runs in his last three starts. Detroit is going with Montero, who has allowed zero earned runs in two of his last three outings. Both of these pitchers scare me, but I will side with Detroit at home.
