Detroit Tigers vs San Francisco Giants Picks and Predictions May 28th 2025

Giants’ Roupp Aims to Extend Scoreless Run vs. Tigers

San Francisco Giants right-hander Landen Roupp will take the mound Wednesday afternoon in hopes of continuing his recent hot streak against the Detroit Tigers, who have already secured a series win with back-to-back 3-1 victories.

Roupp enters the matchup riding a two-start scoreless streak. He tossed six shutout innings in each of his last two outings—first against the Athletics on May 17 and then against the Nationals last Friday. The rookie showed improved command and a more complete pitch mix, throwing just 76 pitches in his latest start.

“With a lot of lefties, you hang your curveball, you get hit pretty hard,” Roupp said. “I was pretty confident in my changeup and my cutter Friday. This game gives me more confidence than the last one because of that reason. Just throwing all my pitches really helped.”

Roupp (3-3, 3.63 ERA) has made 10 starts this season after spending most of 2024 as a bullpen option. He’s familiar with Detroit, having thrown two scoreless relief innings against them last August.

Jobe Looks to Bounce Back for Detroit

Detroit counters with rookie right-hander Jackson Jobe (4-1, 4.06 ERA), who suffered his first loss of the season last Friday. Despite the setback, Jobe limited the Cleveland Guardians to just two runs across five innings. It was the first game the Tigers failed to win in any of his eight starts.

“The first inning they hit some balls that got down and scored some runs,” Jobe said. “I just continued to trust my stuff and let the defense work. It’s not the best I’ve felt physically all year, but I felt like I battled well.”

Manager A.J. Hinch praised Jobe’s ability to adjust, especially against a Cleveland lineup that featured eight left-handed batters. “The fastballs that were getting hit early were because he’d get ahead and then let them back into the count. But he battled and kept us in it,” Hinch said.

Tigers Riding Pitching and Momentum

The Tigers have won three straight games after enduring a three-game skid. During this streak, their pitching staff has allowed just two total runs, providing a solid foundation for their resurgence.

A big moment on Tuesday came from outfielder Wenceel Perez, who homered in his first at-bat of the season after returning from a back injury. Perez replaced Matt Vierling, who was placed back on the injured list with an inflamed right shoulder.

Detroit wraps up its seven-game homestand with this matinee before heading out on a key divisional road trip that includes stops in Kansas City and Chicago. For fans looking to bet on these upcoming matchups, visit the MLB picks section or buy picks directly from top cappers.
