Tigers vs Giants Prediction
Detroit was able to pick up another 3-1 win on Tuesday night, and they will look for the series sweep here. The Tigers are 20-8 at home this year, while the Giants are 14-15 on the road. San Francisco has dropped three of their last four games, and they have scored one run or fewer in all three of those losses. The Giants are starting Roupp, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four straight outings. The Tigers are going with Jobe, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three straight starts. Both of these teams have been lower scoring in recent games, and each starting pitcher has been very good, so I like the under here.
