Written by Drew Lee Skubal Sparks Tigers’ Push in AL Central

The Tigers are rolling, and Tarik Skubal is leading the charge. Detroit has won four straight with their ace on the bump, and they’re building serious momentum in the AL Central.

Skubal has been dominant, with a league-best 71-to-6 strikeout-to-walk ratio, elite control, elite results.

At the plate, Detroit’s got the edge too. Torkelson, Greene, and Carpenter each have more home runs than any Cardinal, giving the Tigers the power advantage.

St. Louis counters with Erick Fedde, who’s been shelled in his last two starts. With Detroit’s bats heating up and Skubal dealing, the path to another win looks clear.

Prediction: Tigers Moneyline – Ride the hot hand.
