Dodgers vs. Tigers: Game 2 Prediction, Odds, and Picks - July 13, MLB 2024

The LA Dodgers had a narrow victory in Game 1 as they took on the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park on Friday night. As they head toward Saturday's Game 2, the Dodgers hope to secure a series win. Tigers ace Tarik Skubal restricted the team to just two runs, but the Detroit bullpen gave the game away, losing to a 4-3 final score. Skubal recorded eight strikeouts in six innings.

LA superstar Shohei Ohtani was the player of the game with his go-ahead double. It was a hard-fought battle, and the Tigers hope to rebound in Game 2 with Keider Montero on the mound as their starter.

Montero is a rookie with a 1-2 record and a 4.64 ERA. Going up against veterans like Ohtani and Freddie Freeman is going to be a challenge for Montero. The Tigers will clearly depend on their offense to get the ball moving.

The Dodger squad has too many starting pitchers sidelined with injuries. Tyler Glasnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Walker Buehler and Clayton Kershaw are all out. With few options remaining, LA manager Dave Roberts will turn in Justin Wrobleski as their starter.

Wrobleski has a 0-1 record with a terrible 7.20 ERA. The rookie pitched only five innings in his career and recorded four strikeouts. This could be the best opportunity for Wrobleski to showcase his skills.

Dodgers vs. Tigers Prediction

Skubal was a tough opponent, but Montero is going to be an easy shot for the boys in blue. The offense should be able to open up, as this is predicted to be a high-scoring game.

The Tigers also have an equal chance of scoring, but their opponents' offense is way better. Ohtani, Freeman and Teoscar Hernandez are the bright spots at the plate. Yet, it's left up to Wrobleski to hold it all together. An early bullpen game can turn things the wrong way for the Dodger squad.

Both teams will try to score as much as possible, but the Tigers are predicted to be the underdog.

Prediction: LA Dodgers -1.5 (-135)
