The Reds Can Win If…
The Cincinnati Reds recently faced the Cleveland Guardians, losing 11-2. Despite the loss, Elly De La Cruz and TJ Friedl each hit a home run. Nick Lodolo struggled on the mound, but the Reds have shown they can bounce back quickly.
The Reds have strong hitting stats that can lead them to victory. They rank 10th in batting average and home runs, and 7th in doubles and stolen bases. With players like Elly De La Cruz, who leads the team in home runs and RBIs, their lineup is capable of putting up big numbers.
Nick Martinez will start for the Reds, bringing an ERA of 3.70 and a WHIP of 1.17. His performance can be crucial in keeping the Detroit Tigers’ bats in check. With a solid defense and a capable offense, the Reds have the tools they need to win this game.
The Tigers Can Win If…
The Detroit Tigers come into their next game with momentum from a recent 4-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. In that game, Tarik Skubal pitched seven strong innings, allowing only three hits and no runs. Parker Meadows and Dillon Dingler each hit a home run, providing the offensive spark needed for the victory.
The Tigers have shown solid performance in key stats this season. Their team batting average of .250 ranks 7th, while their slugging percentage of .406 is 8th. On the pitching side, they have an impressive earned run average of 3.24, which ranks 4th in the league.
Spencer Torkelson has been a key player for the Tigers, leading the team with 16 home runs and 47 RBIs. Gleyber Torres and Riley Greene also contribute significantly, with batting averages of .267 and .277, respectively. With Keider Montero starting on the mound, the Tigers have a good chance to continue their winning ways against the Cincinnati Reds.
The Lean
The Tigers are favored with a moneyline of -137, while the Reds are at +112. Given the Tigers’ superior pitching stats, including a 3.24 ERA and a .229 batting average against, they have an edge. My model projects the Tigers to win with a score of 5-3, making the Tigers moneyline a solid pick.
The over/under line is set at 8.0. With the Tigers’ strong pitching and the Reds’ average hitting, the total may stay low. My model projects a total score of 8, which aligns with the line. Therefore, the under 8.0 is a reasonable choice, considering the pitching strengths.
Reds Ride Winning Wave into Detroit
Cincinnati pushed above .500 with a five-game surge—outscoring foes 29-10—before Wednesday’s 11-2 loss to Cleveland snapped the streak. Outfielder Will Benson credited veteran leadership for tightening the clubhouse and believes this series against the AL’s best will reveal the Reds’ true ceiling. “Every win, every game is more information for us,” Benson said; for a closer look at Cincinnati’s evolving roster, visit the Scores and Stats MLB teams hub.
Martinez vs. Montero Pitching Duel
Nick Martinez bounces back Friday, entering 4-6 with a 3.70 ERA after six strong innings against Arizona, when he limited the Diamondbacks to one run and punched out six. Martinez is 2-1 with a 3.93 ERA in seven career outings versus Detroit. Opposite him, rookie Keider Montero (2-1, 4.30 ERA) allows just one run over his past 9⅔ innings but was tagged for four homers in 5⅔ frames by the Cubs Saturday. Live odds on this duel of right-handers are available on the Scores and Stats MLB odds board.
Tigers’ Proving Grounds Without Skubal
Detroit, 12-5 over its last 17 and posting a 6-1 mark at Comerica Park in the past week, won’t face ace Tarik Skubal this weekend. That leaves the lineup to lean on middle-of-the-order thumpers and a rotation that’s averaged 3.2 runs per start at home. See how the Tigers stack up across every position group on the Scores and Stats MLB teams hub.
