Red Sox vs Tigers
Hot Skubal, cold Sox: Motown moneyline feels safe.

Red Sox (22-21) VS Tigers (27-15)
May 14, 2025 | 6:40 PM ET | Comerica Park, Detroit

Detroit enters with confidence and continuity, riding a two-game win streak and sending out a strikeout-heavy ace who’s shown he can neutralize the heart of Boston’s order. The Red Sox, meanwhile, limp into this one without key power and bullpen pieces, leaving them vulnerable against a Tigers lineup that’s found its groove at the plate. With health on their side and a rested, high-performing bullpen, Detroit has all the ingredients to keep control from the first pitch.
The -220 price tag is steep, but the matchup supports it. Boston’s recent bullpen struggles and lack of pop make it hard to see them keeping up in this spot. Backing Detroit on the moneyline earns a solid nod for its combination of strong form and favourable individual matchups—even if the payout requires a heavier investment.

Detroit's offense is clicking at the right time, and their recent surge—highlighted by strong splits against Boston pitching—puts them in position to stay hot against a shorthanded Red Sox staff. Boston’s recent slump and thin bullpen depth add to their challenges, even with a reliable bat in the heart of the order. Both clubs are eyeing up divisional spots early in the season, and the combination of potent bats and pitching vulnerabilities should keep the scoreboard active.
Factor in the warmer conditions at Comerica and recent scoring trends since the humidor adjustment, and eight runs looks more like a baseline than a ceiling. It may not be the flashiest total on the board, but the matchup edges and current momentum back the Over with confidence.

Boston carries a lack of momentum into this matchup, riding a two-game loss streak but led by a red-hot bat at the top of the order. Detroit comes in with back-to-back wins, and their ace taking to the mount. With questions circling around their offensive production, the Tigers look vulnerable—especially against a road-tested pitcher who’s delivered consistently low run totals away from home.
The run line at +280 offers huge upside if it hits, even if there’s some risk attached. Boston’s recent form, combined with favorable matchup history and Detroit’s current slide, creates a path for a comfortable two-run win. It’s a bold ticket backed by enough momentum to merit a B- grade: not a sure thing, but certainly worth a swing at the value.
