Prediction published on 9/1/24, 12:36 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 9/1/24 at 12:54 AM in MLB Picks

As the betting sites expected, the Tigers won Game 2 against the Red Sox with odds of -150. Skubal, for the Tigers, once again had a sublime performance that will almost guarantee him the Cy Young award. O'Niell hit his 25th HR batting 3rd in the order and that was the only run and one of the 4 hits that the Red Sox could get in the entire game.

As in the first series at Fenway Park between the Tigers and Red Sox, the third game will again be the decisive one, this time in the early afternoon at Comerico Park. The Tigers' streak of winning 7 of the last 10 made them once again a team with baseball above .500, but with little chance in the remaining month being 5 games away from the last Wild Card.

The Red Sox will face the Twins in September, 3.5 games behind the last playoff spot, but with a high chance of snatching it away, as the Red Sox are soon to host the struggling White Sox and then on September 20th they will host the Twins in a game that could be all or nothing.

Duran, despite not hitting in the last loss, continues to lead the Red Sox with his 295 AVG, 44 doubles and 13 triples.
