The Detroit Tigers will try to close their weekend series with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday at 1:40 p.m. EST on the friendly confines of Comerica Park (coverage provided by MLB.TV). Both prior games in the series were won by a 2-1 score, with each team taking one.
Tyler Glasnow is scheduled to get the start for the Dodgers. Glasnow wasn’t incredible in his first start back from the IL last week, giving up six hits and three earned runs in five innings. But he didn’t walk anyone and struck out six. Even if he isn’t any better today, an outing similar to that will likely be enough to take care of a Detroit Tigers lineup struggling to make contact (.188 BA in the last week).
As for the Tigers, Detroit is expected to go with Framber Valdez. Framber Valdez has not been overly impressive this season (8-8, 4.35 ERA, .261 OBA) but has a solid history against the Dodgers lineup (.161 OBA in 118 at-bats).
LA hasn’t been killing it at the plate either (.232 BA over the last week; 15 runs in six games). So, there is a very good chance fans will be in for another low-scoring contest.

Our Detroit Tigers vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I wanted to go with the Dodgers to win, but the moneyline has no value. Even though Valdez is no longer a stud, his history against the Dodgers is excellent. With how LA is hitting, Valdez may be able to keep them in check. Glasnow should absolutely be able to contain the Tigers lineup. Both prior games were one-run contests, but the potential in each lineup makes the run line unappealing. No matter who wins this game, one thing is for certain—the final score will be relatively low.
