The Detroit Tigers look to make it two wins in a row and get their offense back on track against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Tigers are 60-40 and sit atop the AL Central. They also hold the best record in MLB. However, they struggled against the Texas Rangers, dropping two of three. The pitching was excellent, but the offense managed just three runs in the series. Detroit's offense should bounce back against the struggling Pirates, though it won't be easy against the elite Paul Skenes.
The Pirates are 39-61 and last in the NL Central. They have the second-worst record in the National League and were just swept at home by the Chicago White Sox. None of the games were close, as the pitching staff gave up 10 or more runs in two of the three games. Meanwhile, the offense scored two or fewer runs in two of the games.
