The Miami Marlins will play host to the Detroit Tigers for a three-game series starting on Friday at loanDepot Park.
The Marlins raised their record to 68-79 after winning the final two games of their four-game series with the Washington Nationals. In the series finale, lefty Ryan Weathers logged five scoreless innings while Eric Wagaman recorded three RBIs to power Miami to a 5-0 win over the Nats. After allowing 22 runs in two games earlier this week, Miami has lowered its ERA over the past five games to 5.40. Miami also averages 6.4 runs per game while batting .286 in the last five games.
The Tigers dominated the Yankees in the first two games (12-2 in Game 1 and 11-1 in Game 2) before dropping a 3-9 loss in Game 3. Nevertheless, Detroit has improved its record to 84-63 to build an 8.5-game lead on the 75-71 Cleveland Guardians with barely three weeks left in the regular season. The Tigers continue to dominate opponents with their pitching, posting a 3.68 ERA over the last five games. Furthermore, Detroit is averaging 7.5 runs per game this week after scoring 26 runs in the three-game series against the Yankees.

Our Detroit Tigers vs Miami Marlins Prediction
At first glance, Miami looks like an intriguing underdog pick at +177 because of their 7-3 record against the Tigers in their last 10 meetings. However, the Marlins will soon find out that this year’s Tigers team is a lot different from the previous year. Averaging 7.5 runs per game and pitching a 3.68 ERA in their last five games, Detroit is a two-way juggernaut that can beat Miami in so many ways.
On Friday, the Tigers will start their ace, Tarik Skubal, who has allowed one run in his last four starts. Although Miami’s Sandy Alcantara is a solid starter-level pitcher, he’s clearly not on the same level as the future two-time Cy Young Award winner. Detroit is 3-1 against the spread in its last five road games and blanked Kansas City (5-0) and Chicago White Sox (6-0) in Skubal’s last two starts.
