The Tigers are coming into this game with a 27-43 record overall and they are 9-21 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 3 game losing streak that they were on. They just lost their 3-game series against the Boston Red Sox getting swept 3-0, had Thursday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Diamondbacks on Sunday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Sunday with the 2nd game still to be played on Saturday. Rookie pitcher Alex Faedo is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while rookie pitcher Beau Brieske will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 1-6 with a 4.07 ERA this season. His team lost 3 of their last 4 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 4 ER, 1 HR, and 0 BB with 4 Ks on 6 hits in 5 IP against the Boston Red Sox. They scored 8 runs in their last series averaging just under 3 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 16 runs against them averaging just over 5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Diamondbacks are coming into this game with a 32-40 record overall and they are 17-20 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 5 of their last 6 games and are coming into this one on a 4 game losing streak. They just lost their 3-game series against the San Diego Padres getting swept 3-0, had Thursday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Tigers on Sunday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Sunday with the 2nd game still to be played on Saturday. Zach Davies is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while there is no probable pitcher yet on the mound for them here on Sunday. They scored 7 runs in their last series averaging just over 2 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 17 runs against them averaging just under 6 runs allowed per game.

 

The Diamondbacks are coming into this game not playing very well in their recent games but they are going up against a Tigers team that has not been very good on the road this season. Both of these teams have very bad records this season and the D-backs have not even announced a starter yet for this game but they will likely be hungry for a win after a few bad games against the Tigers in this series already. The Tigers have been struggling to hit the ball this season and the D-backs have actually been hitting well and scoring a lot of runs in their recent games. The Tigers also have a rookie pitcher on the mound here in Brieske and this is a good opportunity for the D-backs to hit for some runs and win this game as he has not been great in his few starts this season. The best bet here is on the Diamondbacks to win this game at home.
