San Francisco Giants vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
The Tigers have cooled off over the last week or so, and they’re throwing out a struggling pitcher in Montero, who has allowed 18 hits and nine runs in his last 17 innings. Montero has an ERA over five on the season, and he has a 5.25 ERA and .292 allowed batting average in 12 home innings. Birdsong has allowed 14 hits and four earned runs in his last 12.1 innings, and just four earned runs in his last 18.1 innings. Birdsong has also increased his workload in recent performances. Never a fan of bullpen games, but the Giants have the edge on Monday. I’ll roll with the road team and the soft price.
