The Detroit Tigers and Tampa Bay Rays face off on Monday night in an American League game at Tropicana Field.
Detroit Tigers
It has been an awful season for Detroit sitting with a 12-23 record overall and they have gone 15-20 on the run line. Even though they have struggled, they have won three games in a row against the Baltimore Orioles. During the three-game series the pitching staff only gave up three runs.
The Tigers are averaging 2.86 runs per game while their pitching staff is giving up 3.8 runs per game. The offense is ranked 30th in the league while their pitching staff is ranked 8th. The offense needs to get going moving forward.
On the mound for the Tigers is Alex Faedo who sits with an 0-1 record and an ERA of 3.60. Faedo is from Florida and should have a ton of friends and family in attendance for this game.
Tampa Bay Rays
On the other side of this matchup is the Tampa Bay Rays who sit with a 21-14 record overall and they have won three of the last four games. On Sunday, the Rays only scored three runs, but they had strong pitching, and secured the victory.
The Rays are averaging 4.17 runs per game while their pitching staff is giving up 4.2 runs per game. Manuel Margot has been the top player for the Rays this season hitting three home runs and driving in 21 RBIs.
On the mound for the Rays is Corey Kluber who sits with a 1-2 record and an ERA of 4.55. Kluber was strong until his last start, where he went three innings giving up 11 hits and eight runs.

Detroit Tigers vs. Tampa Bay Rays MLB Prediction:
This game is going to be a low scoring game. I expect Faedo is going to have a strong start, and runs are going to be hard to come by for the Rays. The Tigers offense is also awful and runs are going to be hard against Kluber. Back the under.
