Detroit Tigers (9-6) vs Texas Rangers (8-8)
Monday, April 15, 2024 at 6:40 pm
My selection is on Detroit over Texas at 6:40 pm et on Monday.
I think the Rangers chasers will be out in full effect for this game as a short favorite after they dropped the final two contests of their weekend series in Houston. Instead we'll back the Tigers as they look to keep their terrific start going and own a starting pitching edge with Reese Olson going up against call-up Michael Lorenzen. Lorenzen is only making this start because of an injury to Cody Bradford. You may remember Lorenzen from his no-hitter last season but he faded after that and doesn't have the skills to succeed as a starter at the big league level. Olson showed positive flashes last season even if his overall numbers didn't impress. He was solid in his 2024 debut before getting roughed up by the Pirates in his most recent start. Both of his previous outings came on the road. I look for him to benefit from making his third start here at hitter-friendly Comerica Park. Take Detroit (8*).
