The San Francisco Giants and Detroit Tigers meet Saturday in MLB action at Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The San Francisco Giants have scored 15 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 8 games. The Giants are 4-3 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Thairo Estrada leads the Giants with 17 hits and 6 RBI, while Mike Yastrzemski and JD Davis have combined for 25 hits and 15 RBI. Anthony DeSclafani gets the ball, and he is 1-0 with a 0.73 ERA and 11 strikeouts this season. This will be DeSclafani’s second career game against the Tigers.
The Detroit Tigers have scored 13 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 6 of their last 8 games. The Tigers are 1-8 this season when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Riley Greene leads the Tigers with 12 hits and 4 RBI, while Spencer Torkelson and Matt Vierling have combined for 22 hits and 10 RBI. The Detroit Tigers didn’t announce a starting pitcher at the time this article was published.
The Detroit Tigers didn’t announce a starting pitcher at the time this article was published, but I’m not sure if it matters. Even with a couple of wins lately, the Tigers don’t string together enough offense to be trusted against even OK teams. Anthony DeSclafani is off to a fine start this season and the offense is more consistent. Give me the Giants and whatever the line is.
