The current betting odds have the Tigers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Reds have looked good in their games this season with their 35-34 record overall, but that record has them right near the bottom of the NL Central in a competitive division. They haven't been a great road team either with their 17-18 road record. Meanwhile, the Tigers have looked great in their games this season with their 45-25 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL Central with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They have also looked great in their own ballpark with their 23-9 home record. The Tigers have been rolling in their games lately and they have the better pitching matchup that they can take advantage of in this one. The Tigers are going with Flaherty in this one and he has looked good this season. He is 5-6 with a 3.41 ERA, but he hasn't been giving up many runs lately and has looked even better at home too. He is coming off a great start in which he gave up no runs and his team has also won 3 games in a row with him starting now. The Reds are going with Singer in this one and he hasn't looked bad this season, but he hasn't been as good lately as he was to start the year. He is 6-4 with a 4.59 ERA and he has been giving up more runs lately. He only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start and the team has had some success with him lately, but he won't be as good on the road here. The Tigers are one of the best teams in the MLB right now and they have looked unstoppable at home at times, they can take advantage of this pitching matchup too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Tigers to win this game.

“Blessed and grateful. I’m glad we won the series." - Will Benson after their loss against the Guardians in their game on Wednesday.

“I was kind of fighting myself a little bit early. As the game wore on, I felt like I got better. That’s probably what I’m the most proud of. If you look back at my games, sometimes you’re on from pitch one, and sometimes it takes a little bit. I’m probably more proud of grinding it out in those types of performances than when you’re on early.” - Tarik Skubal after their win against the Orioles in their game on Thursday.
