MLB Odds: Tigers vs. Dodgers prediction, odds and pick

The Tigers lost the first game of the series 5-1. The Tigers are 6-13 on the season and 2-5 as the visitor. Los Angeles is 13-6 and tied with the Giants atop the NL West leaderboard. Clayton Kershaw will start for the Dodgers.

Beau Brieske will be making his first start on the mound for the Tigers on Saturday evening. He was drafted in 2019 and it took him 34 minor-league games to get the call up to the big leagues. The Tigers have struggled against the spread with a 7-12 record in 19 games overall. Detroit has lost six consecutive games. They need to improve their offensive performance to avoid falling behind the 8 ball in 2022.

Clayton Kershaw is three strikeouts away from passing Don Sutton for the all-time strikeout lead in the Dodgers franchise history. Kershaw has had general success against Detroit, having thrown 13 shutout innings in his two starts. Max Muncy is looking to turn his season around after going 0-4 against the Tigers on Friday.

The Dodgers are the better team and the pick for the game. The All-Star lineup of Los Angeles will prove to be too great for Detroit for a second consecutive night.
