The Tigers have been one of the American League's top teams, boasting a potent offense and a strong pitching staff. They average 5.1 runs per game, ranking fifth in MLB, with a team batting average of .255 and a slugging percentage of .423. Detroit's pitching staff has been equally impressive, posting a 2.96 ERA, third-best in the league. Rookie right-hander Jackson Jobe (2–0, 3.38 ERA) will make his sixth start of the season. While he has shown promise, Jobe has struggled with control at times, issuing 14 walks over 24 innings. 

The Rockies have had a rough start to the season, holding the worst record in MLB. Their offense has been inconsistent, and their pitching staff has struggled, with a team ERA of 6.48. Rookie right-hander Chase Dollander (2–3, 6.48 ERA) will take the mound for Colorado. Dollander is coming off his best start of the season, allowing one run over 5.2 innings against Atlanta. 

The simple story is the Rockies are the worst team in the MLB. Detroit has been rolling so far in 2025, and will be pleased to see the ball fly off the bat in Colorado. We will be happy to take Detroit at anything under -200 and we like the Tigers to win 7-3.
