The Detroit Tigers look to move closer to clinching the AL Central title over the weekend against the red-hot Atlanta Braves at Comerica Park.
The Braves, 6-1 in their last seven games, are +101 moneyline underdogs to the Tigers, who are 1-6 in their last seven games.
Current Form:
The Tigers have seen their comfortable lead on the Cleveland Guardians dwindle to just 3.5 games after losing six of their last seven games. All of a sudden, Detroit is fighting to stay on top of its division with three series left on its schedule. In the last five games, Detroit has carried a still solid 3.42 earned run average, but its offense has only generated 2.3 runs per game in this stretch.
The Braves have pumped up terrific stat lines at the plate and on the mound, averaging 7.8 runs per game on a .333 batting average and commanding a 2.54 ERA in their last five games. Again, Atlanta has won six of their last seven games to stay in the wild-card race with a 70-83 record.

Our Atlanta Braves vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
The Braves boast a 5-0 head-to-head record in their last five games against the Tigers. Atlanta has also gone 5-1 in their last 6 games on the road and 5-0 in their last five games. Bryce Elder, who is projected to start on Friday, surrendered six earned runs and 10 hits over 4.1 innings in his last start on September 13 against the Astros. However, it’s worth noting that Elder had only allowed four earned runs over 27 innings across his last four mound appearances before that disastrous start against the Astros.
Meanwhile, the Tigers are starting Charlie Morton, who is 1-4 with a 7.48 ERA in his last five starts. Morton, who had two stops with the Braves in his lengthy career, will be facing Atlanta for the first time since 2020. There’s a chance Morton will do well against his former team, but the real problem for Detroit lies in their offense, which has produced just a little two runs per game in the last five games. Moreover, the Detroit bullpen has pitched to a 5.32 ERA in its last five games, making the team vulnerable to late-game rallies.
Our betting prediction for the Detroit Tigers vs. the Atlanta Braves: Atlanta Braves will win.
