Toronto Blue Jays vs Detroit Tigers MLB Preview
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Moneyline Pick: Tigers ML” logo1url=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/461059_det_n.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/detroit-tigers” link1follow=“false”][/subheader]
The Tigers have struggled lately, losing nine of their last 10 games.
The cold spell has shrunk their lead in the AL Central down to eight games over the Guardians.
Detroit will have to slow down one of the hottest teams in baseball, the Blue Jays, who have won six of their last 10 games.
The Jays’ hot streak places them first in the AL East, leading the Yankees by four games.
I love this get-right spot for the Tigers at home after being swept early in the week by the Pirates.
Detroit will send right-hander Reese Olson to the bump. Olson has pitched well at home this year with an ERA of 2.30 in 27 1/3 innings.
The Tigers have struggled on offense lately, but they match up well with Jays starter Eric Lauer.
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Tigers Player Prop: Javier Baez 1+ Hit” logo1url=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/461059_det_n.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/detroit-tigers” link1follow=“false”][/subheader]
Baez has enjoyed a strong bounce-back season.
The Tigers’ All-Star is batting .329 against left-handed pitching in 2025 and has strong numbers against Lauer.
The veteran has gone 4-for-11 in his career against Lauer with two extra-base hits.
