Tigers vs Rockies
Bank on Detroit to keep the Mile-High misery going.

Tigers (22-13) VS Rockies (6-28)
May 08, 2025 | 8:40 PM ET | Coors Field

Detroit rolls into Colorado on a great run of form, while the Rockies continue to spiral with five consecutive losses and key bats still sidelined. The Tigers’ rotation has performed fine away from home, posting a fairly average 4.13 ERA over multiple road starts, and their offense has delivered against National League arms with consistent power. On the other side, Colorado’s starting pitching has always faltered at home, and their bullpen remains stretched thin by the demands of altitude and recent inefficiency.
The matchup tilts hard toward the visitors, not just in recent form but in roster depth and late-game reliability. Despite the juice on the moneyline hovering around –170, the Tigers’ dominance across every major trend makes this a trustworthy play. It earns a solid B for both stability and value in a game that favors the road team from start to finish.

Detroit enters on a two-game surge with momentum on both sides of the ball, while Colorado continues its slide through a their prolonged slump. The Tigers send a starter who’s strung together multiple quality outings, but it’s the Rockies’ rotation and bullpen—still reeling from recent short starts and boasting one of the league’s worst ERAs—that shape this matchup’s run-friendly outlook. Even with limited pop in Colorado’s current lineup, Detroit’s inconsistent middle relief offers an opening for late scoring.
With the thin air at Coors Field enhancing ball flight and both clubs facing pitching vulnerabilities, the total of 10.5 runs feels well within reach. Detroit's steady contact hitting, paired with altitude and the Rockies’ relief struggles, tips the scales toward a higher-scoring game. The Over earns a confident but measured grade of B—backable with room for variance.

Detroit are likely to send a hot hand to the mound against a Colorado squad mired in a huge slump and sitting with the worst record in the league of 6-29, with the Tigers rolling on a 7-3 run and building early-season separation in the AL Central. The Rockies remain depleted, leaning on a rookie lefty in one of the league’s most unforgiving ballparks, while Detroit’s lineup has been crushing left-handed pitching over the past few weeks. The altitude only amplifies the gap, especially with Colorado’s defense and bullpen still unable to contain opposing bats.
With one team thriving in nearly every key metric and the other just trying to stop the bleeding, backing Detroit on the run line makes sense. A reliable starter, strong road bullpen, and rest advantage before an off-day all support the case. The bet grades out as a B+ for both its probability and relatively tame juice, especially given how rarely this Tigers team leaves the outcome close.
