Tigers vs Giants Prediction

The Tigers are 8-2 in their last 10 meetings against the Giants but have lost two of their last three visits in San Francisco.

In this Tigers vs Giants Prediction, the Tigers are coming as -120 road favorites. I like the Tigers in this one, as they have been red-hot lately with 5-1 record in their last 6 games and have scored 8+ runs in 7 of their last 8 games. On the flip side, the Giants are 1-5 in their last 6 games and also have a weaker bullpen. Montero has given up one run or less in three of his last four games and has been excellent on the road with a 2.45 ERA. Take the Tigers to get the job done on the road in this one.
