The Detroit Tigers and Milwaukee Brewers meet Tuesday in MLB action at American Family Field. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Detroit Tigers have scored 6 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 10 of their last 15 games. The Tigers are 2-12 this season when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Riley Greene leads the Tigers with 19 hits and 6 RBI, while Spencer Torkelson and Javier Baez have combined for 33 hits and 18 RBI. Spencer Turnbull gets the ball, and he is 1-3 with a 7.85 ERA and 13 strikeouts this season. Turnbull is 1-1 with a 5.17 ERA and 15 strikeouts in his career against the Brewers.
The Milwaukee Brewers have scored 12 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 7 games. The Brewers are 13-1 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Willy Adames leads the Brewers with 22 hits and 13 RBI, while Brian Anderson and Christian Yelich have combined for 44 hits and 28 RBI. Eric Lauer gets the ball, and he is 3-1 with a 4.30 ERA and 19 strikeouts this season. This will be Lauer’s second career game against the Tigers.
The Tigers are 1-6 in their last 7 road games and 4-1 in their last 5 interleague games. The Brewers are 4-0 in their last 4 Tuesday games and 15-6 in their last 21 overall. The under is 6-0 in Tigers last 6 overall. The Tigers are 2-6 in the last 8 meetings in Milwaukee.
The Detroit Tigers still can’t score runs and Spencer Turnbull isn’t a pitcher I’m thrilled to back right now, especially on the road. The Milwaukee Brewers are far and away the more trustworthy team at this stage, and the offense shows up whenever Eric Lauer pitches. The line isn’t anything crazy. Give me the Brewers.
