Los Angeles Dodgers and Detroit Tigers will play the second game of their three-match season-opening series on Friday night at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers will come into this matchup as the -215 betting favorites, hoping to pick up where they left off last season. The defending World Series champions swept aside Chicago Cubs in the two-match MLB World Tour Tokyo Series while winning on the run line in both matches. They could even be stronger this season after signing some new faces, including Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki.
Like the Dodgers, Detroit Tigers will also hope to continue with their 2024 success story. They were third in the AL Central, finishing the regular season with an 86-76 record. The Tigers proceeded to the playoffs after eliminating the Astros in the wild-card series. However, they were bundled out by the Guardians in a five-game series. The Tigers strengthened their young roster with more experienced acquisitions as they look to make another postseason push.

Our Detroit Tigers vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
It's hard to be confident about early-season predictions. However, we won't overthink this matchup because the Dodgers are the clear favorites to win. They were the best MLB team last season and showed they still have more to offer during their Tokyo Series heroics. The Dodgers boast a pretty stacked roster and should easily bag this three-game series. However, they may not get a smooth sailing if the Tigers send Tarik Skubal to the mound. He went 19-4 last season with an ERA of 2.39 in 192 innings. Still, the Dodgers should get a big win at home. Our prediction for LA Dodgers vs Detroit Tigers: LA Dodgers to cover the -1.5 run line.
