Analysis
Gold Standard on Detroit The Detroit Tigers are doing extremely well as they are first in the AL Central with a 42-24 record up to this point. The Tigers are hitting at a solid level as the team is eighth with a .727 team OPS while scoring 4.86 runs per game thus far. The Tigers are coming off a 6-1 home loss on Saturday to the Chicago Cubs and the team was 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position. The Tigers will try to bounce back with a win on Sunday against the Cubs. A win would give the Tigers the series win and get them back in the win column. They'll try and do so with veteran righty Jack Flaherty on the hill. Flaherty is 4-6 this season in 12 starts, including four quality starts. Flaherty has an ERA of 3.72 and a WHIP of 1.09, while allowing 51 hits in 65.1 innings of work. Flaherty has allowed 11 home runs this season and walked 20 and struck out 76. In his last start, a 13-1 over the White Sox in Chicago, Flaherty allowed four hits and one run in six innings while striking out four. The Tigers have won three of Flaherty's last five starts.
