Detroit Tigers vs Colorado Rockies Game 2 Prediction – 5/8/2025

The Detroit Tigers and Colorado Rockies will play for the second time on Wednesday, May 8, 2025, in the second game of their doubleheader from Coors Field. The Tigers have been much better than the Rockies so far this season, but their pitching situation in this game and the unpredictable nature of baseball in general could make send this contest in any number of directions.

Going into Game 2 of this Tigers vs Rockies doubleheader, the Detroit Tigers have not decided on a starting pitcher at the time of this writing. Who they ultimately decide to pitch in this game will likely depend on how the first game plays out, as they could start with an opener out of the bullpen or pull a more traditional starting pitcher into this role. Which direction they go will hinge on how much bullpen usage is required in the first game of the day.

On the Colorado side, they are starting Tanner Gordon on the bump in this game. Gordon is making his season debut for the Rockies after seeing some action down the stretch last season. Last season, Gordon went 0-6 with an 8.65 ERA. He will look to get off to a better start in 2025, but will have his hands full against a potent Detroit lineup.

The Rockies' offense ranks 30th in MLB this season, struggling in almost every category, including batting average and home runs. In stark contrast, the Tigers' offense ranks 6th overall, highlighting their significant advantage. With a game total of 10.5 runs, this matchup leans heavily in favor of the Tigers, who have an implied team total of 5.88 runs compared to the Rockies' 4.62.

Given the current trends and team performances, the Tigers are positioned as the favorites, but the Rockies, with a strong bullpen ranked 9th in MLB, may still find ways to keep the game competitive.
