Tigers vs Rockies Pick, Parlay
Tigers Player Prop: Casey Mize Over 17.5 Outs
I think Detroit starting pitcher Casey Mize pieces together another strong outing in this start.
Mize has a 5-1 record behind a 2.70 ERA. He's pitched at least 5 1/3 innings (16 outs) in every start this season, reflecting the trust Detroit places in him to work deep into games.
The Rockies are the worst lineup in MLB, with only six wins behind a measly 64 wRC+ — 36% worse than the MLB average and 12% worse than the second-worst lineup (Pittsburgh).
Mize should be able to carve them up.
Moneyline Pick: Tigers ML
The Tigers are a good baseball team, sitting atop the AL Central standings with a 23-13 record behind MLB's best run differential.
With momentum and a favorable matchup against a struggling Colorado squad, the Tigers should easily win this game.
I'm betting that Detroit keeps the pressure on this Thursday.
