The Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies wrap up a three-game set on Sunday Night Baseball at Citizens Bank Park tonight after splitting their first two contests of the series.
Philly has a huge pitching advantage with lefty Cristopher Sanchez toeing the rubber, and my Tigers vs. Phillies predictions and MLB picks are calling for the home team to win comfortably on Sunday, August 3.

Tigers vs Phillies best bet analysis
The Philadelphia Phillies have oodles of familiarity facing Detroit Tigers veteran Charlie Morton, and the 41-year-old righty hasn’t been sharp.
Morton’s 5.42 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, and 4.36 xFIP are his highest marks in over a decade, and his 8.97 K/9 and 21.8 K% are also his lowest totals since 2015.
Philly has also been money at Citizens Bank Park with a 34-20 record and sixth-ranked .339 wOBA. Lefty Cristopher Sanchez sports a tidy 2.55 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 2.81 xFIP, while holding opposing hitters to a miniscule 5.4 barrel %.
Detroit is reeling at the dish since July 1, with the second-highest strikeout percentage in baseball and a 21st-ranked .308 wOBA.
I’m expecting Sanchez to hold the Tigers in check, while the Philly lineup puts enough runs on the board to win comfortably tonight.
Tigers vs Phillies same-game parlay analysis
In addition to the noted swing-and-miss funk the Tigers are in, Sanchez has also racked up a career-high 9.57 K/9 and 26.3 K%. He’s also pitched six or more innings in each of his last 10 starts, so I’m anticipating the All-Star lefty to have the bandwidth to pile up punchouts tonight.
Turning to the final leg of this same-game parlay, Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres is dialed in at the dish and has handled lefties well all season. He’s rolling along an 8-for-25 run across his past six games and sports a .278 batting average, .394 wOBA and .924 OPS against southpaws for the campaign.
