Detroit Tigers vs Miami Marlins Prediction
The Marlins haven’t been good over the last month and while you’d like to believe in Alcantara, he has a lot of stinkers this season. Alcantara can’t be trusted with his 5.67 ERA and 1.32 WHIP on the season. Skubal is one of the best pitchers in the game with his 2.10 ERA and 0.86 WHIP, and the Tigers have won 6 of his last 7 starts. In 84.2 road innings, Skubal has a 2.02 ERA and .192 allowed batting average. Fun pitching matchup, but I have to lean toward the Tigers for obvious reasons.
