In this Tigers vs Diamondbacks Prediction, the Diamondbacks are coming as -115 home favorites. The Dbacks swept by the Dodgers in their opening series, but they managed to keep two of the three games close, while the Tigers are coming off their first defeat of the season which was also a shutout. Verlander had two good starts against the Dbacks last season and with the total set at 9 runs, I have to go under that number. Both teams average 7 total runs combined this season and the Tigers allow 2.3 per game. As a result, both teams are a perfect 3-0 to the under in their last three games combined, so take the under 9.
