Tigers vs Rockies
Mile-High altitude, but Detroit’s momentum looks higher.

Tigers (22-13) VS Rockies (6-28)
May 08, 2025 | 3:10 PM ET | Coors Field, Denver

Detroit heads to Coors Field riding a 7-3 run behind strong starting pitching, while Colorado remains mired at the bottom of the league as the only team left with under ten wins. The Tigers’ recent form and rest advantage make them the more composed and complete squad entering this matchup. Colorado, still missing key pieces and struggling late in games, hasn’t shown the offensive firepower or relief stability needed to counter Detroit’s momentum.
Even with a less than great return on the moneyline, the matchup aligns clearly in favor of the visitors. Detroit’s consistent starting pitching, healthier roster, and sharp bullpen support give this favorite pick dependable value despite the juice.

Detroit enters on a great run of form, while Colorado continues its tailspin with a prolonged 2-8 run. The Rockies' rotation depth remains a concern, especially with a struggling veteran arm thrust into action at hitter-friendly Coors Field. On the other side, Detroit's lineup has been red hot and carries momentum from past matchups against Colorado, where their power output was a clear difference-maker. Although Detroit's starter looks ready to go, the bullpen has shown some vulnerability of late, giving Colorado a potential window for late-inning runs.
Given the thin air, two overworked relief corps, and a matchup that leans toward offensive production, the over on a 9.5 total looks like a sharp play. This has the feel of a game where bats take center stage and runs come in bunches.

Detroit rides into this matchup on a two-game win streak, facing a Colorado team entrenched in an ongoing slump and missing multiple key contributors. The Tigers' pitching staff has been especially dominant away from home, leading the league in road ERA and consistently limiting opponents in recent meetings with the Rockies. That trend continues to give them an upper hand against a lineup still looking for stability and support at altitude.
With the Rockies’ rotation struggling at home and Detroit showing no signs of easing off the gas, the visitors are well-positioned to build and protect a lead. The run line, with modest juice, offers good value in a matchup that heavily favors the more complete, in-form squad.
