Diamondbacks vs Tigers Prediction

I’m on the Tigers here. I think Detroit has a seismic edge in starting pitching with Tarik Skubal starting here, as he’s one of the best starters in baseball and is Detroit’s stopper. Arizona has found a couple of solid wins, but I think Detroit avoids the sweep with a win here.
