Predictions

Starting pitchers Kenta Maeda for the Tigers and Zach Plesac for the Angels present a contrast. Maeda, with a 2-4 record and a 6.00 ERA, has had varied results against the Angels, going 1-3 with a 3.81 ERA in his last five starts. On the other hand, Plesac is 1-1 with an 8.68 ERA this season but has been more effective against the Tigers historically, posting a 1-2 record with a 3.41 ERA in his last five matchups. The matchup predicts a high-scoring game that could be decided by the bullpens.
