After the All-Star break, two teams with losing records face off in Los Angeles when the Tigers take on the Angels. Detroit has had a disappointing season, despite expectations that they would contend for the division title; however, their 44-52 record and the return of Skubal from injury suggest they still have a chance to fight for a wild card. Meanwhile, the Angels' 38-59 record is the worst in all of MLB.
The first game of the series will feature an intriguing pitching duel between Troy Melton and Reid Detmers. The Tigers' ace has been a key contributor for the team this season. The 25-year-old pitcher is posting a 1.82 ERA in 49.1 innings pitched. He pitched 5.1 innings with nine strikeouts and complete dominance in his last outing against the Athletics. The opposing manager praised him, describing his repertoire as consisting of three distinct fastballs.
As for the betting odds, you should trust the Angels, since they won only two of their last 12 games before the All-Star Break. Reid Detmers, Friday's starter, also struggled in his last outing, allowing three home runs.

Our Los Angeles Angels vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
Rumors abound that the Angels might be unloading their team and selling several of their most attractive arms on the market, such as Soriano or reliever Kirby Yates.
The Tigers have reasons to keep fighting in their division; they need an offensive revival from their stars McKinstry and Torkelson, but players like Greene, with an AVG of .380, continue to put up the numbers.
Our prediction for Angels vs Tigers is: Tigers ML.
