Tigers vs. Cardinals: A Clash of Titans
The Detroit Tigers, currently leading the AL Central, are riding high with a strong run differential. Their ace, Tarik Skubal (reigning AL Cy Young), takes the mound against the Cardinals' Erick Fedde. While St. Louis boasts an impressive home record (16-6), their performance with Fedde pitching has been less than stellar (3-6 in nine outings).

Best MLB Prop Bets
Tigers Best MLB Prop Bet
Tarik Skubal UNDER 0.5 Walks (+130)
This bet carries some risk, but the +130 odds offer significant value. Skubal's exceptional control, demonstrated by his low walk totals this season (only six in nine starts), makes this a compelling option. The Cardinals' performance in drawing walks is average, further bolstering this prediction.
Tigers vs. Cardinals Prediction and Pick
This game presents a fantastic betting opportunity. Skubal's dominance and the Cardinals' struggles with Fedde on the mound strongly favor a Tigers victory. While St. Louis performs well at home, Detroit's superior pitching and offensive statistics make them the stronger team on paper.
Pick: Tigers Moneyline (-180 at DraftKings)
