Tigers Offense Isn’t It

San Francisco Giants vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
This total is too low. Birdson, in his last start, gave up seven runs, and he’s going to really struggle here. Motnero is coming off a strong start, but he still sits with an ERA of 5.62, and he’s going to really struggle here. The Giants are going to tee off, and they can go over this number by themselves. The Tigers will also find success, and this game is going to end up over the total.
