The season is closing for both the Detroit Tigers and Pittsburgh Pirates as they face off in the final series. Detroit had higher expectations than Pittsburgh before the season, but after Pittsburgh's solid start, they both were hoping to be playoff-bound. Unfortunately, that will not be the case for either team.
Pittsburgh is coming into this final series having won 6 of their last 7 games. They swept the Royals and took 2 out of 3 against the Cardinals. That said, those games did take place in Pittsburgh, and tonight they will be on the road in Detroit. In their 4 most recent games, Pittsburgh has only combined for an average of 4.5 runs per game. As the 6th leading scoring team in the league this season, this stretch has been a drastic drop.
For the Tigers, the latest set of games has not been pretty. They have lost 6 of their last 8 games and have managed just an average of 1.17 runs in those 6 losses. They are 6th in the league in combined ERA, but even good pitching can not help when the team is inept at scoring runs. They are hoping Jackson Jobe will be able to shut down this Pittsburgh offense and keep the Tigers in the contest.

Our Detroit Tigers vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Neither of these teams has anything to truly play for in this final series. Jackson Jobe and Bubba Chandler will start of their squads and should run into little opposition in terms of solid at-bats. We expect both teams to mail it in, beginning with the 1st of this 3-game set tonight. The under should be the right play here.
