The Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals continue their three-game set on Tuesday after St. Louis opened the series with an emphatic 11-4 win on Monday. Despite that setback, Detroit remains one of the top-performing teams in the American League this season, boasting a 31-16 overall record.
Prior to the series opener, the Tigers had rattled off five straight wins, including a tight one-run victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Offensively, Detroit has been consistent, carrying a .260 team batting average and generating 253 runs on 418 hits so far this year. Their pitching staff has also been exceptional, with a combined team ERA of 3.21—among the best in the league.
The Cardinals, meanwhile, are six games over .500 and have shown flashes of strong form, though they've dropped two of their last five outings. Their recent loss to the Kansas City Royals snapped a three-game win streak. Offensively, the Cardinals are nearly neck-and-neck with Detroit, batting .262 as a team while recording 224 runs on 421 hits.

Our Detroit Tigers vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction
Taking the mound for Detroit on Tuesday is Tarik Skubal, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner. The 28-year-old lefty will be making his 10th start of the season and enters with a 4-2 record. Detroit has come out on top in each of his last four outings, underscoring both his consistency and the team’s confidence when he’s on the mound.
St. Louis counters with Erick Fedde, a 32-year-old right-hander also making his 10th start of the season. Fedde holds a 3-3 record and carries a 3.44 ERA, with 32 strikeouts and 25 walks. However, he’s struggled recently, allowing seven runs against Milwaukee and three more against the Mets in recent appearances.
Adding to Detroit’s advantage is the power threat in their lineup. Hitters like Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene, and Kerry Carpenter have each tallied more home runs than any single player on the Cardinals roster. With Skubal on the mound and more offensive firepower, Detroit appears poised to bounce back from Monday’s defeat and even the series. Our prediction for St. Louis Cardinals vs. Detroit Tigers: Tigers to win.
