Detroit Tigers vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
The Detroit Tigers should win this game, simply because they have to if they’re going to stay in the wild-card race. However, I’m not laying these prices with this pitching matchup. Bradley Blalock has been a mess in limited frames with his 5.40 ERA, while Keider Montero hasn’t been any better with his 5.47 ERA. While I’d lean Tigers, I think the stronger play is going with the over. Neither of these pitchers is appealing. Expect some fireworks. Give me the over.
