Red Sox vs Tigers
Skubal’s southpaw sting meets Fenway thunder—one side blinks first.

Red Sox (21-20) VS Tigers (26-14)
12 May 2025 | 6:40 PM ET | Comerica Park, Detroit

Detroit enters this matchup with solid momentum, having won seven of their last ten, while Boston comes in having seemingly turned their form around. The Tigers hold a noticeable edge on the mound with a starter who’s consistently shut down this opponent in prior meetings, and their bullpen continues to rank among the best in the American League in efficiency. Boston, meanwhile, is still missing a couple of key contributors, particularly in the infield and back end of the bullpen, which has affected their late-game stability.
While Detroit’s offensive production hasn’t been overpowering, it has been timely—especially against pitchers like the one they’ll face here. The slight edge in current form and bullpen depth makes the Tigers a reasonable lean at home, though Boston’s lineup is still capable enough to warrant some caution.

Detroit comes in on a roll, while Boston looks to steady itself after a couple of recent stumbles. With both lineups missing a key power presence in the heart of the order, the offensive expectations drop. Detroit sends out a promising—despite getting hit around a few times this season—rookie, while Boston counters with a solid righty who’s shown flashes of dominance. Comerica Park’s size and the cool forecast should further suppress run production in what already profiles as a pitching-first matchup.
Both bullpens remain among the most efficient in the league, and neither offense looks primed to overpower in these conditions. While a late swing could shift things slightly, the under holds solid value here given all contributing factors.

Detroit rolls into this one riding a 7-3 run in their last ten, showing a clear edge in form over a Boston squad that is playing .500 ball in their last ten and continues to shuffle its lineup due to injuries. The Tigers send out a rookie right-hander who has yet to face the Red Sox in his young career, while the Red Sox’s offensive struggles, particularly on the road, remain a concern. With Detroit’s bullpen well-rested and the rotation in rhythm, the home side carries a clear pitching and momentum advantage.
Boston’s starter adds some stability, but Detroit’s recent production against right-handed pitching tips the scale in favor of the hosts. With their current streak and overall health trending in the right direction, laying a single run at near-even odds offers solid value.
