Tigers vs Cubs Prediction 

Detroit picked up a huge win in game one of this series on Friday night, and they continue to be the top team in the MLB this year. The Tigers are 22-8 at home this year, while the Cubs are 19-13 on the road. Chicago was held to just one run in game one on Friday, but they are still one of the best offensive teams in the MLB. The Cubs are starting Taillon, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three straight outings. The Tigers are going with Montero, who has allowed zero earned runs in his last two outings (9.2 IP). Both of these pitchers have been very strong in recent outings, but I don’t think I trust Montero against this Chicago lineup. Take the Cubs here.
