Tigers vs Reds Prediction 

Cincinnati was able to get a comeback victory to start this series on Friday and they have one of the best records in the MLB. The Reds are 7-6 at home this year, while the Tigers are 4-11 on the road. Detroit has allowed 8+ runs in three of their last five games and they are starting Flaherty, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in three straight starts, but only went 3.1 innings last time out. Cincinnati is going with Singer, who has allowed 3, 1, and 5 earned runs in his last three starts. I think the pitching matchup is pretty even, but Cincinnati is red hot and they have a ton of momentum from Friday. Take the Reds here.
