Detroit Tigers at Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

Once again, the Dodgers come into this matchup as the heavy betting favorites. After dropping their last game to Arizona, look for LA to turn things around against Detroit. Although the Dodgers aren’t coming into this game winning the bats particularly well, I expect them to break out for a big night against Tyler Alexander. I feel comfortable taking LA on the runline.
