Tigers Records & Recent Play
Detroit sits at 70-70 this season and is looking to avoid dropping below .500 today on the road. They’ve lost two straight and trail the Guardians by 10 games in the AL Central. As underdogs, the Tigers are 38-48 this season.

San Diego is 80-61 overall this season and has won three straight games. In the NL West, they are 4.5 games behind the Dodgers. They are a strong bet at home, with a 39-32 record at PETCO Park.
Pitching Matchup
Casey Mize will start for the Tigers, looking to rebound from his recent struggles. Martín Pérez will take the mound for the Padres, coming off a win in his last start, where he allowed four earned runs over five innings.
Tigers vs. Padres Offense Outlook
The Tigers’ offense has been inconsistent, ranking 22nd in runs per game. They are powered by Riley Greene and Matt Vierling, both of whom have been productive at the plate. The Padres, meanwhile, boast one of the top offenses in the league, with Jackson Merrill and Manny Machado leading the way.
Free Tigers vs. Padres MLB Pick
With Casey Mize struggling and the Padres’ potent lineup, I see San Diego winning and covering the run line in this matchup. My pick is the Padres to win and cover.
