Tigers vs Dodgers Prediction
I considered the Tigers and the plus money, but the Dodgers are rolling right now, and they’re tough to jump in front of when things are clicking. Snell also looks like he’s getting his act together, allowing 7 hits and 2 runs in his last 18 innings. Montero has been a bright spot for the Tigers, but overall this is an underachieving team that can’t string together offense. Give me the Dodgers, and I’ll take the RL to shave down the price.
