Detroit Tigers Form

Detroit entered this series on a good run of form, having won 10 of their previous 13 games.

The Tigers began this sequence on the road as they beat the Los Angeles Angels 13-1, before heading to Colorado to sweep the Rockies with 8-6, 10-2 and 11-1 wins.

Their win streak reached five games with a 2-1 home win against Texas, but it was the Rangers who ended that run with 10-3 and 6-1 victories.

Detroit rebounded at home to Boston though, as they swept the Red Sox in a three-game series, winning 14-2, 10-9 and 6-5.

The Tigers then began this road trip with a couple of wins in Toronto, sandwiching a 2-1 defeat with 5-4 and 3-2 victories.

St Louis Cardinals Form

St Louis came into this series on the back of a loss, but in excellent form with 12 wins in their last 14 games.

The Cardinals began this good run with a nine-game win streak that started with 6-5 and 5-4 wins at home to the New York Mets.

They then swept Pittsburgh at home with 6-3, 2-1 and 5-0 wins, before heading to Washington were they swept the Nationals with 10-0, 4-2 and 6-1 victories.

St Louis’ run reach nine games with a 3-2 success in Philadelphia, but that streak was ended the following day as they lost 2-1 to the Phillies.

The Cardinals replied with a 14-7 success later that day, and they then backed that up with 10-3 and 1-0 wins at Kansas City, before losing the series finale 2-1.

Verdict

Tarik Skubal is headed to the mound and that is just what the doctor ordered for Detroit after last night's loss.

The Tigers have been stacking up wins when Skubal has started, and we expect that trend to continue.
