Detroit Tigers @ LA 
Angels ML+165 bet365 * 10:07 pm 
DET: T. Skubal (5-5, 3.09) * G. Rodriguez (3-2, 7.55)
Last Meeting ( Jul 17, 2026 ) Detroit 2, LA Angels 1
The spotlight will be on two-time reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal on Saturday night when the Detroit Tigers try for a series win over the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, Calif.
The left-handed Skubal (5-5, 3.09 ERA), a free agent at the end of the season, is expected to be the most coveted pitcher available at the Aug. 3 trade deadline.
Skubal, who has won two of his last three starts, is 1-1 with a 2.96 ERA in four career starts against the Angels, including 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA in two starts at Angel Stadium.
It was the 11th loss in the last 13 games for the Angels. They joined the Rockies, who also lost Friday night, as the first two teams in the majors to hit the 60-loss mark this season.
Right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (3-2, 7.55 ERA), who has had success against the Tigers during his career, will start for the Angels on Saturday.
Rodriguez is 2-0 with a 0.60 ERA in three career starts against the Tigers, with 20 strikeouts in 15 innings. He picked up the win in a 7-1 victory at Detroit on May 28, when he allowed one run on two hits and two walks over five innings while striking out five.
Rodriguez won his last start at Minnesota, 4-3 on July 10, allowing three runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings. It was his first big league appearance since he went on the injured list on June 15 with lower back tightness.
"He pitched well," Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said. "His changeup was working. It was working really good. He had some life on his fastball. He was throwing strikes, attacking the zone. Good first start, for sure."
