DETROIT @ LA ANGELS (DET -125, 8)
TIGERS F5 ML
Casey Mize gets the start for Detroit and he is the primary reason I'll back the Tigers on the F5 moneyline. Mize is one of the most profitable F5 pitchers in all of baseball. He and the Tigers are 4-1 on the F5 moneyline in his starts this season. If you had bet $100 on the Tigers on the F5 moneyine every time Mize started this season, you'd be up $312.
Mize is 4-1 overall with a 2.12 ERA. He has allowed 1 earned run or fewer in 4 of his 5 starts in 2025. He's also had success against the Angels in his career. He is 1-0 with a 3.14 ERA in 3 career starts against the Angels.
The Los Angeles offense has virtually disappeared. They have lost 5 straight games and averaged barely over 2.0 runs per game in that stretch. The Angels have scored 3 or fewer runs in 12 of their last 15 games. That's one of the reasons why LA has just 3 wins in its last 15 games.
Yusei Kikuchi starts for the Angels. He does not have a win yet this season. He's 0-4 with a 4.31 ERA. In his last start, Kikuchi lasted just two innings before getting yanked after surrendering 4 earned runs. Detroit should get to him and improve upon their 20-9-2 F% moneyline record.
