At 1 pm ET today, the Detroit Tigers take the field at Comerica Park for the first time this season as the Boston Red Sox come to town to kick off a three game series. The Tigers are off to a 2-4 start to the season after a tough six game stretch on the road to open the year. Lucky for them, they get a reeling Red Sox team that has also floundered out to a 2-4 start to the season, so something has to give in this early afternoon matchup.

Our experts have crunched the numbers and done the math that the common man just can’t do, and their Red Sox vs. Tigers predictions are in. As is often the case, this game comes down to the simple things. These are two not-so-good teams and you’re getting the home team, in their home opener no less, at plus money with a +122 price tag at FanDuel Sportsbook.

While Red Sox starter Chris Sale may be a better credentialed pitcher than the Tigers’ Spencer Turnbull, Sale hasn’t been the same pitcher in recent years and let up three home runs in his first outing of the season. The Tigers are the value play here and as such, our expert Red Sox vs. Tigers predictions are the Tigers winning outright as +122 underdogs.

Our expert best bet and today’s Red Sox vs. Tigers predictions are one and the same. The Tigers will be willed to victory by a daytime Detroit crowd in their home opener against the struggling Red Sox. Not only should the Tigers and pitcher Spencer Turnbull win today, they’ll do it at a nice +122 underdog price at FanDuel Sportsbook.

You don’t get rich betting favorites as they say, and in a game between two teams that don’t seem to be going anywhere early, it’s smart to take the home underdog almost every time. The Red Sox have yet to surrender less than four runs in a game this season, including explosions of 10, nine, and nine runs by the Orioles.

With so many player props on the board, our experts had to dig deep for our Red Sox vs. Tigers predictions to bring you some winners. While new addition Zach McKinstry doesn’t have props available yet, we want to take a shot at another plus-odds pick here. Javier Baez has hit .400 in his career against Chris Sale, who has only diminished since then. He’s +115 to record 2+ bases at FanDuel Sportsbook, and we think that’s a bargain.

With a double, triple, dinger or even multiple singles, there’s plenty of ways for this plus money ticket to get home and Sale has been getting shelled of late.
