Detroit Tigers at Texas Rangers Preview & Picks

Detroit are tipped to make a winning return to action in Texas.

Rangers starter Patrick Corbin racked up a bunch of losses prior to the All-Star break, and he could struggle to keep this strong Detroit offense in check.

  • Detroit Tigers average 4.97 runs per game (#6 in MLB)
  • Texas Rangers are 3-5 in Patrick Corbin’s last 7 appearances
  • The Over has cashed in each of Detroit’s last 4 games
  • The Over has hit in 7 of Texas’ previous 8 games

Head To Head

  • Detroit Tigers lead the all-time series 381-344
  • Texas Rangers won 6-1 when the two teams last met on May 11

Detroit Tigers Form

Detroit went into the All-Star break on their worst run of the season, having lost four straight games.

The Tigers enjoyed a winning start to July as they beat Washington 11-2, only to then lose the next two meetings with the Nationals, 9-4 and 11-7.

They rebounded on the road though as they travelled to Cleveland to sweep the Guardians with 2-1, 1-0 and 7-2 victories.

Detroit then returned home and took their winning run to five games by beating Tampa Bay 5-1 and 4-2.

The Tigers lost the final meeting though, 7-3, and they failed to bounce back from that as they were swept by Seattle, losing 12-3, 15-7 and 8-4.

Texas Rangers Form

Texas went into the mid-season pause on an inconsistent run of form, having gone 7-5 in July so far.

The Rangers began the month with back-to-back home wins over Baltimore, winning 10-2 and 6-0, before heading to San Diego where they lost 4-1 and 3-2 either side of a 7-4 win.

They then moved on to face the Los Angeles Angels and split that four-game series, twice responding immediately to a defeat in Anaheim.

Texas bounced back from a 6-5 loss to the Angels with a 13-1 victory, and then answered an 11-8 defeat with an 11-4 success.

The Rangers then headed to Houston where they were able to win 7-3 and 5-1 either side of a 5-4 defeat to the Astros.

Verdict

Detroit cooled off before the All-Star break, but we expect them to get back on track here.

The Tigers boast one of the best offenses in all of baseball, and that can lead them to victory against a pitcher who was giving up a bunch of hits and runs before the mid-season pause.
