The Detroit Tigers have been very good at home this season, sporting a 10-3 record and yet to lose back-to-back games in their own park.
My Rangers vs. Tigers predictions expect the home side to bounce back after a series-opening defeat Friday night.
Let’s dive deeper into my daily MLB picks for May 2.
Who will win Rangers vs Tigers today: Tigers moneyline (-135)
The Detroit Tigers are 10-3 at home, powered by a remarkably productive offense against right-handed pitching.
They’ve been especially productive in Detroit, ranking first in wOBA, OPS, SLG, and wRC+.
Texas Rangers starter Kumar Rocker relies heavily on the sinker-slider combination, one the Tigers have hit well.
Gleyber Torres, Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson, and Kevin McGonigle are all hitting .290+ with wOBAs of at least .370 against that mix.
Expect the bats to do some damage against Rocker, whose results (3.38 ERA) are better than his process (4.11 xFIP, 4.17 SIERA).
COVERS INTEL: A lot of Rocker’s success has stemmed from keeping the ball down, which will be difficult against a Tigers offense that ranks fifth in flyball rate vs. righties at home.
Rangers vs Tigers Over/Under pick: Over 8.0 (-120)
This game sets up well for the offenses. The Tigers are in a favorable spot and the Rangers have quietly been productive away from home.
Texas ranks third in wOBA and fourth in OPS on the road this season, keeping company with teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves.
While the Rangers have a higher strikeout tendency than those teams, they’re still dangerous.
Both teams squeezed only 3.2 innings out of their starting pitchers on Friday, which could make key bullpen arms fatigued or unavailable entirely.
