Prediction

When diving into the road/home splits for these starting pitchers, they are on different levels. Brandon Pfaadt is 4-3 with a 5.94 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP in 53.0 innings (10 road starts) while Casey Mize is 5-1 with a 3.23 ERA and a .238 batting average against in 39.0 innings (seven home starts) so far this season. Arizona was 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position on Monday and not being able to hit in those positions limits the amount of expected runs. Take the Detroit Tigers to cover the run line.
