Key Insights & Betting Trends
Tigers favored in moneyline under ~–125; they’re 37‑17 at that price line
Rangers have seen 4 of last 5 games go OVER
Texas is 3‑2 ATS in their last 5 games
Detroit’s bullpen showing signs of fatigue after heavy usage
Detroit’s stronger rotation (Reese Olson’s sub‑3.00 ERA) and status as moneyline favorites give them the early advantage—especially in a contained indoor setting. However, Texas’s high-octane offense (wRC+ 115) and recent Over-heavy trend suggest a chase-heavy contest. I’m leaning toward Detroit grabbing a narrow win 5–3, but expect enough scoring to push the total over 8.5.
