Milwaukee Brewers vs Detroit Tigers Betting Preview

The Tigers are currently sitting at a .500 record this season, with a 31-31 record. While they are having an average season, the Brewers have been performing exceptionally well with a 36-26 record, putting them in the midst of a great season.

The projected starting pitchers for this game are Reese Olson for the Tigers, while the Brewers have yet to decide on a starter at the time of this writing. Olson, a right-handed pitcher, has shown promise this season, ranking as the 48th best starting pitcher in MLB according to our advanced-stat Power Rankings.

Olson has started 11 games this season with a win/loss record of 1-6. However, his ERA stands at an impressive 2.48, indicating excellent performance on the field. It's worth noting that Olson's peripheral indicator, xFIP, suggests that he has been lucky this year and may not perform at the same level going forward.

When it comes to the offense, the Tigers rank as the 24th best in MLB this season, with a low team batting average and a lack of power. On the other hand, the Brewers offense ranks as the 4th best in MLB, demonstrating their strong hitting capabilities.

Overall, this game presents an interesting matchup between a Tigers team that is having an average season and a Brewers team that is performing exceptionally well. With the Brewers' potent offense, they may have an advantage against the Tigers' weaker offense. However, baseball is full of surprises, and anything can happen on the field.
