Reds and Tigers Battle in Power-Packed Series Finale
After trading home run-heavy blowout wins in the first two games, the Cincinnati Reds and Detroit Tigers will decide their weekend series in a rubber match on Sunday afternoon. Both teams have put on a power display, combining for eight home runs in two games.
Miley in the Spotlight
Veteran left-hander Wade Miley will take the mound for the Reds while navigating recent off-field headlines. Miley was recently named in a deposition connected to a lawsuit filed by the family of his late former teammate, Tyler Skaggs.
“I’m not going to sit here and talk about things that somebody might have said about me or what not,” Miley said, adding he has never been accused of any wrongdoing. The potential for off-field distractions to impact a game is a complex subject covered in our expert betting guide.
On the field, the 38-year-old is on a comeback trail from a major elbow injury. He earned a win in his first major league start of the season on Monday and is filling a key role in an injured Reds rotation. “It feels good just to get back out there and compete,” Miley said.
De La Cruz Stays Red-Hot
The Reds’ offense has been led by their dynamic shortstop, Elly De La Cruz, who has homered in three consecutive games. His combination of power and speed makes him one of the most exciting players in baseball.
“His talent level and his wanting to be good… I do think there’s more in there,” said Reds manager David Bell, suggesting his young star’s ceiling is even higher.
Detroit’s Own Comeback Story
The Tigers will counter with a pitcher on his own comeback journey. Sawyer Gipson-Long will make his third appearance of the season after elbow and hip surgeries wiped out his 2024 campaign. He looked sharp in his last outing, tossing 4 2/3 innings of one-run relief. The matchup of two pitchers on the mend presents an interesting challenge on the scores and odds board.
With the power shown by both MLB teams this weekend, Sunday’s finale could be another slugfest. To see who our experts think will win the series, check out our daily MLB picks.
