The current betting odds have the Tigers listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Tigers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 31-31 record overall and their 14-15 home record, but this is still a big improvement over the teams they have had the last few seasons. Meanwhile, the Brewers have looked good in their games this season with their 36-26 record overall which has them leading the NL Central, but they haven't looked great in their games lately. They were just shut down by the Phillies in their last series and their offense has cooled off now. The Brewers will have Peralta in this game and he is 4-3 with a 3.74 ERA, but he gave up 3 earned runs in his last start and has been giving up more runs in his starts lately. Mize is going to be on the mound for the Tigers and he hasn't been as good this season with his 1-3 record and 4.70 ERA this season, He has been pitching a lot better in his recent starts though, only giving up 2 earned runs in his last start, and the team has won their last 2 games with him starting too. The Tigers will also have some momentum coming back home for this series since they just went on the road and beat the World Series Champions in a series. Mize has been pitching a lot better lately and he has a really good bullpen to help him out too, the Tigers can take advantage of the Brewers who haven't been putting up too many runs lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Tigers to win this game.
