Game Preview
The Detroit Tigers will try to bounce back from an unfortunate road loss against the Atlanta Braves when they take on the Philadelphia Phillies for game one of a three-game interleague series on Monday, June 5th at the Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
Phillies fans should expect an uneven performance this season from their offense, yet when Bryce Harper is healthy they become much stronger as an effective unit. That will put pressure on Detroit’s weak run production this season and can provide them with some help against an opponent that struggles scoring runs themselves.
Detroit ranks 28th among MLB offenses and were recently swept by the Chicago White Sox in their previous series. In May alone, Detroit has only scored more than four runs on 15 out of 28 games. Jake Rogers leads with 6 homers, Javier Baez in RBI with 20 and Riley Greene in batting average with .296, in on base percentage with .362 and in hits with 60.
Aaron Nola of the Philadelphia Phillies is playing well this season, but has been struggling as of recently and should start Game 1 of this series against the Tigers. Nola boasts a 4.70 ERA and 1.13 WHIP while also recording six quality starts out of 12 appearances. While Nola may struggle keeping his offense in check at times, he should be able to control their attack effectively.
Let’s check the latest MLB news, stats and MLB expert picks for Tigers vs Phillies. We’ve plenty of MLB Predictions for you to consider.
Nola has excelled this season with his ability to quickly get ahead in the count and pitch with a fastball that averages 89 MPH and gets plenty of swings and misses from batters. Nola’s success at getting ahead has been greatly beneficial to his Phillies teammates who can take advantage of teams giving them free passes by taking advantage of any advantage granted to them by Nola getting ahead quickly in counts.
The Phillies are an impressive team and have been playing well. Against an unpromising Detroit lineup, they should be able to score points quickly and win this series opener.
