Our Los Angeles Angels vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

The Tigers are the heavy favorites in this game; however, they still look to be the best betting option. This is mainly because of the home/away splits between the two starting pitchers. Starting with Skubal, he has made seven away starts this season, having allowed 14 runs (11 earned) over 41.1 innings. Rodriguez, on the other hand, has made five home starts this season, where he has allowed 24 runs (22 earned) over 20.2 innings. 

Detroit may not be the most consistent team in the league this season, but given the huge advantage they have on the mound in this matchup, our Los Angeles Angels vs Detroit Tigers prediction is: Detroit Tigers ML.
