The best team in baseball, the 47-27 Detroit Tigers, will have the best pitcher in the majors, lefty Tarik Skubal, on the hill when they play the middle game of their 3-game set with the 29-45 Pittsburgh Pirates tonight at Comerica Park. The Tigers cruised to a 7-3 win in yesterday’s matchup, and they should do the same tonight. Skubal has been almost unhittable. He is 7-2 with a 1.99 ERA, a 0.88 WHIP, and over his last 4 starts he has yielded just 1 run over that span. Skubal does not lose at home. He is 5-0 at Comerica Park with an ERA of only 1.72 so good luck to the Pirates who are the lowest scoring team in the majors.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DETROIT TIGERS
