Red Sox vs Tigers Predictions and Picks
"Detroit is starting Skubal, and when he's on the mound, it's a great spot to take the Tigers to get the win. Although Dobbins has been pitching well, he's on the road and now facing one of the best offenses in the majors. Skubal should be able to have success against this Red Sox lineup and not allow many runs, while the Tigers' offense will hit Dobbins hard as Detroit gets a big win here. Take the Tigers ML." — Cole Shelton, Statsalt
"The Tigers humiliated the Red Sox in the first game of this series, and are now sending out their Cy Young winner to finish them off in the final game of the set. Skubal has not lost any of last year's dominance, as he has an excellent 60-5 strikeout to walk ratio, and will not allow many Red Sox batters to get on base .... Boston will not be able to keep up, as they only scored two runs on Monday, and now face the Detroit ace. The Red Sox are sending out Dobbins, and he recently gave up four earned runs in a loss against the Twins. The Tigers grab another win here before sending the Red Sox home." — Paul Biagioli, Winners and Whiners
