Eugenio Suárez leads them in home runs (36) and RBIs (87), though he was recently day-to-day after being hit by a pitch. Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte are also key contributors.

Injury Update: Eugenio Suárez was pulled from Monday’s game after being hit by a pitch; X-rays were negative, but his status for Tuesday is day-to-day. Gabriel Moreno (hand) remains on the 60-day IL.

Detroit Tigers Outlook

The Detroit Tigers are having a strong season with a 61-46 record, leading the AL Central. Their offense ranks 8th in runs scored and 6th in team batting average (.262). Riley Greene leads them with 25 home runs and 81 RBIs, while Spencer Torkelson (23 HR) also provides power. Casey Mize’s consistent pitching has been a key factor in their success.

Injury Update: The Tigers have several pitchers on the IL, including Reese Olson (shoulder) and Jackson Jobe (flexor), impacting their pitching depth. Parker Meadows (quadricep) is also on the 10-day IL.

Analysis and Pick

The Tigers are favorites at home, bolstered by Casey Mize’s strong season and their overall impressive record. While Pfaadt for Arizona has a good win-loss record, his higher ERA suggests he can be vulnerable. The Tigers’ offense, especially at home, has been more consistent. Given Detroit’s current form and Mize’s reliability against a D-backs team with injury concerns and a higher ERA starter, the Tigers are poised for another win.
