My Prediction
Chicago Cubs by 2Alright folks, we're casting our expert eye on the upcoming match between the Chicago Cubs and the Detroit Tigers happening at the Comerica Park, Detroit. The pitcher's paradise, this park is also known as. And with its advantage tilted towards the pitchers, we can't ignore the tight battle between Jameson Taillon of the Cubs and his Detroit counterpart Tyler Holton. Taillon has been a bit more stingy this season, with an ERA of 3.82 and a crisp WHIP of 1.01. So, slightly up on the holier than thou Holton, whose ERA is at 4.76, a tad generous for my liking.
The Cubs lineup isn't your run of the mill. When the likes of Matt Shaw and Mike Busch can make pitchers break into a cold sweat, you know you've got some mighty warriors, never mind Pete Crow-Armstrong blasting off 7 home runs.
Nevertheless, look at the Detroit Tigers. Remember the name, Dillon Dingler. With a decent batting average and a fire in the belly, he's turning heads. And who can overlook Spencer Torkelson's thirst for home runs? Not me, sure as my dead grandmother's maiden name was Thelma!
The Potassium levels are high in this one, with 'the succulent Tigers' as I like to call them, displaying an impressive regular season record of 42-23. Cubs are crawling just behind with 39-24.
Now reminiscing, these two teams have been trading blows, quite evenly, if you ask me. But hey, who's asking? Let's not forget the Cubs' impressive show with a 10-2 win previously, making sure everyone sat up and took notice.
Factoring in all that hogwash, I'm inclined to say, this one swings the Cubs' way. But hey, in a game plagued by the tyranny of the round ball, expect the unexpected.
