The Rangers are coming into this game with a 9-9 record this season and they are coming off of a 4-2 loss against the Tigers in their last game which their bullpen blew late. They have not been great in their recent games as they have lost 3 of their last 4 and their offense has not been good in those either as they have scored just 2 runs or less in 3 of their last 4 games as well. They are going up against a Tigers team that is 10-7 this season and has been playing better recently as they have won 2 of their last 3 games. Their pitching has been very good in these games as well as they have allowed 3 runs or less in each of their last 3 games. Tarik Skubal is starting for the Tigers in this game and he is 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA this season. He has been very good in his 3 starts this season. He did have 1 start which he allowed 4 earned runs in, but he also allowed no earned runs in his other 2 starts this season, pitching at least 5 innings in each of those, and that includes his last start as well. The Rangers have Dane Dunning starting in this game and he is 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA this season. His team has won 2 of the 3 games he started in this year, but he has been consistently giving up runs in those starts as he has allowed 3 earned runs in each of his 3 starts this season. He has not been getting blown up in his starts but he has consistently been giving up runs and that is going to be trouble for the Rangers here with the way their bullpen has been pitching this season as well. The Tigers are going to score runs in this game and the Rangers already blew their game yesterday with their bullpen. The Tigers not only have the better pitching matchup with their starters but they also have the much better bullpen to start the season and that will carry them to a win in this game at home. The Tigers will win this game at home.
