Diamondbacks vs Tigers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Diamondbacks listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Tigers have looked great in their games this season with their 62-46 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL Central with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They have also looked great in their own ballpark this year with their 34-21 home record. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks haven't looked good in their games this season with their 51-56 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the NL West. They haven't been a great road team either with their 25-28 road record this season. The Diamondbacks haven't looked great lately as they are 4-6 in their last 10 games, but the Tigers have still been worse lately as they are 3-7 in their last 10 games. The Diamondbacks also have the better pitching matchup here to take advantage of and one of the best offenses in the MLB. The Diamondbacks are going with Nelson in this one and he has looked great this season. He is 6-2 with a 3.29 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs all year. He is coming off another great start in which he gave up no runs, something that has been a common theme for him, and the team has won 2 games in a row now with him starting too. The Tigers are going with newly acquired starter Paddack in this one, but he hasn't looked great this season. He is 3-9 with a 4.95 ERA and has been giving up a ton of runs all year with the Twins. He only gave up 1 earned run in his last start, but that hasn't been a common theme for him lately and his team still lost their last 3 games with him starting. The Diamondbacks have the better offense to take advantage of this pitching matchup and they are still catching the Tigers in the middle of a slump too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Diamondbacks to win this game.

Notable Quotes
“It's part of the game, and I don't think Vest is trying to hit anybody there, let alone one of the most impressive hitters in MLB. You don't want to do those types of things and get those types of players off the field. They need to be on the field performing. [Suárez is] just a great story this season. So for sure, I don't think there was any intent.” - Torey Lovullo on the injury to Eugenio Suarez after his team’s loss against the Tigers in their game on Monday.
“I think early in his outing in Pittsburgh, he was jumping off the rubber a little bit, he was doing a little bit too much. But generally speaking, because he has a calm heartbeat, he can execute a game plan. And with all of the different options that he and Ding had to go to against this lineup, he can generate a lot of quick outs and also escape some issues because of the power in his stuff.” - A.J. Hinch after his team’s win against the Diamondbacks in their game on Monday.
