Rockies vs. Tigers Prediction: Thursday, September 12th

The Tigers were one of the hottest teams in the league in August and they’ve done little to slow down lately. They’ve won 5 of their last 6 games and are going for the series sweep today against the Rockies. While there is no real value on the Tigers winning this game there are some good team and player props to target with our MLB best bets today though, and let’s start with a team total. 

The Rockies have struggled mightily on the road all season with a record of 22-55 overall. During that time, they have managed to score only 3.46 runs per game, the 3rd fewest in the majors. Seeing as they’ll match up against Tarik Skubal today, I want to bet the under on their runs in the first 5 innings at 1.5 runs.

Adding more Skubal love to the MLB picks card now as he’s been damn good this season and a Cy Young award could be in his future! His strikeout prop is a little high for me today though at 8.5, and while the Rockies strikeout often, I am going in the direction of outs recorded. 

That number sits at 18.5 today and that’s something he has topped in 3 of the last 6 starts. I don’t think the Rockies will give him too much trouble and the outs should come quick, so give me the over on backing Skubal this afternoon.
