Overall, the Detroit Tigers are a stronger team ranking third in the AL Centra with a 17-24 on the road. However, they have not been doing so well lately losing 3 of their last 4 games due to a lack of offensive power.
So far this season, Detroit is batting at a .228 average with 607 hits 296 runs and 71 home runs. Batting leader for the Tigers is Spencer Torkelson with a .223 average with 39 RBIs and 11 home runs. Furthermore, they have one of MLB’s worst batting averages, on-base percentages, slugging percentages, stolen base tallies, and home run totals.
For this matchup, Michael Lorenzen (0-3) will be the starting pitcher for Detroit. Thru 77 innings, he currently stands with a 7.56 ERA, .94 WHIP and 58 strikeouts.

According to online sports betting expert, Gomber is having a tough time finishing a game this season. This is because he pitches in high altitude and often and finishes poorly. In fact, there is not a NL pitcher that has given up more runs or home runs then Gomber.

Game time: 06/30/2023 at 8:10 PM EDT
Bet on the Detroit Tigers at -115
In their last 5 games playing at Coors Field, the Rockies have had many inconsistencies. This is because in some games they had many runs while in other just a few. If they are struggling so much at home, it does not bode well for the team.
While Austin Gomber is a solid pitcher, we believe he will give up this game in the early innings. In addition, the Tigers have an overall better team and should have no problem defeating the struggling Rockies. Therefore, we predict the Detroit Tigers will win and cover the run line with a final score of 9-4.
