Rangers vs Tigers Prediction
The Tigers are putting together a strong week, and I like them here as well. Mize has been fantastic through 65 innings with a 2.63 ERA and 0.97 WHIP. Mize just went into Yankee Stadium and pitched seven innings while allowing 1 hit and 0 runs. Rocker has been far more hittable, and that includes a June in which he allowed 27 hits and 12 earned runs in 24 frames. At home through 45 innings, Rocker has a 4.00 ERA and a .243 allowed batting average. Pick em price, I’m rolling with the hot Tigers and a dominant pitcher.
