The Detroit Tigers will make up for lost time when they face the Colorado Rockies in the first game of a doubleheader today. A weather delay forced the delay to the series opener, but the wait is over, with games two and three taking place here.
Detroit is circling around to the bottom of their rotation, as evidenced by the fact that they will call on Casey Mize to start against the Rockies. That is much more of a commendation of the depth of the Tigers' rotation than a condemnation of Mize's play, seeing as the righty has earned a 2.70 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP, elite statistics by any measure. His last outing was one of his worst, although four runs over seven innings against the Los Angeles Angels is a stat line that lots of starting pitchers would be happy to produce. A meeting with the hapless Rockies offers a nice opportunity for a rebound, even if this game is in Coors Field.
The Rockies will count on Kyle Freeland to match Mize's production. Unfortunately, Freeland has not been nearly as productive, posting a 5.70 ERA, a number that indicates how much trouble he has had keeping opposing runners away from home plate this season. Freeland's last two outings have been particularly brutal, as the Cincinnati Reds dinged him for six runs over four innings while the San Francisco Giants put up three scores over Freeland's six frames of work. The Tigers are a solid offense, making it likely that Freeland is in for yet another tough outing.

Tigers vs Rockies Predictions and Picks
Bryan Logan of ClutchPoints writes, "The Rockies are just 1-6 when Kyle Freeland has been on the mound this year. He has given up at least three runs in six of his seven starts this year, with three starts giving up five or more runs. Current Tigers have just 18 at-bats against Kyle Freeland. They are just 3-18 with a double. Still, Gleyber Torres has been solid, going 3-5 with a double against Freeland. With how much Freeland has struggled this year, plus the solid pitching from Casey Mize, take the Tigers in this one."
The Detroit moneyline is a bit too expensive, but its spread is well-priced. It is a solid bet, seeing how awful the Rockies have been, both straight-up and against the spread.
