After finishing a long ten-game road trip with a double-header on Thursday, the Detroit Tigers will be hosting the Texas Rangers on Friday, who will be playing their fourth consecutive game away from home.

Texas Rangers vs Detroit Tigers: Tigers Moneyline

The Rangers are still struggling to have a positive record, and while their pitchers have done a great job, with a collective ERA of 3.46, the offense has been quite poor, averaging just 3.32 runs scored. For their part, the big surprise of the American League, the Tigers continue to display great performance, with a productive offense and high-level pitching, and here they will have their ace on the mound, Tarik Skubal. Considering that the Tigers have a record of 13-3 at home and will have their best starter, we expect them to take a comfortable victory.

K. Higashioka Out.

K. Rocker Out.

J. Gray Out.

Texas Rangers vs Detroit Tigers: Under 8

Although the Tigers have been great offensively, they could have some problems here against one of the best bullpens in the league, and a Patrick Corbin who has had a great start to the season, and who has allowed only 3 runs in his last five starts. In addition, Skubal should not have major complications against one of the worst offenses in MLB, especially being at home. Therefore, we expect a low-scoring game.

Texas Rangers vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

While this will be a close game from start to finish, we are confident that the Tigers’ offense, which is in great shape, can be productive enough to hurt an inspired Corbin and take the victory in this game.
