All 15 MLB teams will be in action on Saturday, which will include an American League matchup between the Detroit Tigers and the Toronto Blue Jays. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Tigers and the Blue Jays.

Toronto continues to sit below .500 this season, as they have simply not been consistent. In fact, the Blue Jays have now lost eight of their last 11 games after falling in Game 1 of this series on Friday. Looking to bounce back, Toronto is set to start Mason Fluharty in Game 2. Fluharty is primarily a bullpen arm and has an ERA of 5.40, which skyrockets to 8.53 on the road.

As for Detroit, they are in a similar spot to Toronto, sitting several games under .500. The Tigers are in 4th place in the AL Central division, but will welcome back one of their best starters off the injured list in Game 2, that being Casey Mize. He has a record of 2-2 this season, but an ERA of 2.90. Mize has been even better in his home starts, so even though this will be his first game back in some time, he looks set to shut down an underwhelming Blue Jays’ offense.

Our Detroit Tigers vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

Detroit is the small favorite in this game; however, they still look to be the best betting option in Game 2 of this series. 

The fact that the Blue Jays are expected to start an opener does not bode well for them. This is especially true knowing that Mize is on the mound for the Tigers. 

Mize has been almost unhittable at home, having posted an SEA of 1.54 across two home starts. Therefore, even though Mize could be on a pitch count with this being his first game back from injury, our Detroit Tigers vs Toronto Blue Jays prediction is: Detroit Tigers ML.
