Tigers vs Diamondbacks Picks, Preview
With the addition of star rookie Kevin McGonicle, the Tigers are becoming an increasing threat to win the AL Pennant. Still, I show a fairly sizable edge betting against them on Monday with the Diamondbacks.
Arizona had a rare Sunday off day, following their three-game sweep against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, where they blew multi-run leads in the final two games, allowing them to rest and reset their bullpen. While they reset at home, the Tigers took their first loss of the season in San Diego, using a couple of key relievers, before making the short trip to Phoenix.
Arizona has a clear starting pitching advantage, with a rarely healthy Michael Soroka (3.53 xERA, 4.21 xFIP, 17.4% K-BB% in 2025; projected FIP range 3.97 to 4.25) battling 43-year-old Justin Verlander (4.24 xERA, 4.57 xFIP, 12.8% K-BB% in 2025; projected FIP range 4.42 to 4.88), and the projected gap between them is wider for me is wider for me than it is between the top six relievers in either bullpen (3.85 to 4.10 weighted FIP favoring Detroit).
The offenses are also comparable; either team averages a 110 wRC+ against righties across their nine lineup spots, and Arizona has two top hitters by right-handed splits (139 for Corbin Carroll and 133 for Ketel Marte) in that group.
Moreover, they are the better team on the basepaths with a sizeable defensive edge; the Tigers are above-average defensively as a team, but they have a few soft spots, and two bad defenders (Kerry Carpenter and Gleyber Torres) in particular. Javier Baez is also well past his prime defensively as a 33-year-old shortstop; their best lineup probably has McGonigle at short and Zach McKinstry at third.
Conversely, the Diamondbacks have average to above-average fielders at every position, with Carrol and catcher Gabriel Moreno projecting among the best at their respective positions.
I show an edge on Arizona in both halves; you can bet their F5 moneyline (listed at -128) to -135, but their full-game price at -110 (bet to -133) offers more value.
Pick: Diamondbacks ML (-133 or Better)
