Tigers Crush Rays with 7-1 Win, Skubal’s Stellar Performance Keeps Streak Alive

Tarik Skubal led the Detroit Tigers to a 7-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night. Skubal struck out nine in six overpowering innings, allowing just three singles. Mark Canha went 3-for-4 with a homer and two RBIs, while Parker Meadows also homered for the Tigers. Javier Baez and Jake Rogers also contributed with multiple hits. Jose Caballero homered for the Rays, but the team managed only six hits overall.

Skubal’s Strong Start Gives Tigers Edge Over Rays

The Detroit Tigers, who share a record with the last-place Tampa Bay Rays, will face off in a three-game series starting Monday. The Tigers are favored in the opener due to the presence of ace Tarik Skubal, who ranks fifth in the AL in hits per nine innings. Skubal’s reliable performances have drawn comparisons to former Tiger Justin Verlander, with DraftKings Sportsbook pricing him as the second favorite behind Corbin Burnes for the top spot among AL pitchers. The Rays will counter with JT Littell, a converted reliever who has a great start but still needs to master his pitches. With both teams struggling to score runs, the under 7 runs total bet is recommended, offering potential winnings of $202 including the stake.
