Tigers vs Rangers MLB Betting Preview
Yesterday, the first game of this series offered only two runs in total in the form of a 2-0 Rangers shutout win.
The Texas offense has managed only 11 runs in the last three games and ranks 25th overall in wRC+ this season with a mark of 89.
The Tigers have a much more productive lineup, but they have dipped in July to 15th in wRC+, and in the last week, they're 16th with a wRC+ of 88.
Keider Montero will start for Detroit, and he has been great in his last seven outings with a 2.88 ERA.
Our Bet Labs recommendation is under 8.5, using the "Under After Low Scoring Game in Series" system.
Tigers vs Rangers Pick, Betting Analysis
This system targets MLB regular season games where both teams are coming off low-scoring performances (0-2 runs scored in their previous game) within the same series.
These matchups tend to reflect strong pitching or cold offenses, and the market may not adjust the total downward enough in time.
This strategy filters for more recent seasons to reflect current scoring environments and pitcher usage trends. Betting the under in these situations has shown consistent short-term profitability.
Pick: Under 8.5 (-110 · BetMGM)
