While Detroit holds a slight edge in completing a three-game sweep, their odds stand at +155 when giving away 1.5 runs. If predicting a Detroit moneyline win, a $105 bet would yield $100 in profits.

Jack Flaherty (0-1, 4.44 ERA) takes the mound for the Tigers, while Tyler Alexander (1-0, 4.79 ERA) starts for the Rays. Tampa Bay’s bullpen ranks near the bottom of MLB in earned run average (25th) and inherited runners allowed. Furthermore, their command issues are evident, ranking 13th in the AL in walks+hits+HBP per nine innings.
Despite Alexander’s potential against his former team, there are doubts about the Rays’ bullpen’s ability to limit runs and secure a victory. BetMGM Sportsbook offers a promising prebuilt parlay: Tigers win and total runs over 3 (+310).
Furthermore, a different parlay, Tigers win and total runs over 6.5 (+190), has yielded a $730 profit on the season thus far.
While Riley Greene’s impressive performance on Tuesday, including a pair of home runs, showcased his exceptional hitting skills, Spencer Torkelson remains in a slump. After hitting 31 home runs last season, Torkelson has yet to homer in 24 team games. Until he breaks out, it’s wise to avoid Torkelson HR prop bets. Fortunately, other Tigers are performing well, keeping the team in a positive position and second place in the standings.
