Detroit Tigers vs Colorado Rockies Prediction and Picks, September 13, 2026

The Detroit Tigers have been a bit rocky lately, winning only 4 of their last 10 games and scoring an average of 1.2 runs less than their opponents in their recent outings. However, they've shown decent form against left-handed pitchers, hitting about as well as the league average this year. Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies have struggled even more, coming out 1.9 runs behind in their last 12 games and winning just 3 out of 10. Given these facts, I think the Tigers have a good chance to win this game at Comerica Park. The biggest risk here is that both teams have been inconsistent lately, but the Tigers' better performance against lefties could give them the boost they need to pull off the win.

Detroit Tigers vs Colorado Rockies: Over 8.5 Total Runs (-128)

At Comerica Park, the Detroit Tigers and Colorado Rockies are both looking to improve their recent form. The Tigers have scored about 1.2 runs fewer than the average over their last 12 games, while the Rockies have been even lower, coming in at 1.9 runs behind. This matchup is rated as close to a coin flip, and our numbers suggest a combined total of around 9.4 runs. The most concrete risk here is that both teams have struggled to score consistently lately, but they do have the potential to break out. With both lineups capable of hitting well, betting on over 8.5 total runs seems like a smart choice.

Detroit Tigers vs Colorado Rockies: Detroit Tigers -1.5 Spread (+146)

The Detroit Tigers have shown some promise lately, winning 4 of their last 10 games, though they've been scoring about 1.2 runs less than their opponents in recent matchups. They face the Colorado Rockies, who are struggling even more at 3 wins in their last 10 and averaging 1.9 runs behind their opponents. Both teams have similar hitting stats against left-handed pitchers, but the Tigers are playing at home, which usually gives them a boost. Betting on the Tigers to win by at least 1.5 runs seems solid because they have a good chance to score more, especially since our numbers suggest they could win by around 4 runs. The biggest risk is that both teams are not on fire, so if the Rockies find their rhythm, it could be closer than expected.

Detroit Tigers vs Colorado Rockies: Ezequiel Tovar Under 0.5 Batter - Hits (-110)

Ezequiel Tovar is expected to have a tough time getting hits against the Detroit Tigers. He's been struggling this season, with a batting average that's lower than expected. At Comerica Park, where the Tigers play, Tovar averages just over two plate appearances per game. This means he might not get enough chances to get a hit, especially if the Tigers' pitching keeps him off balance. The Tigers have shown some solid pitching against left-handed hitters, and Tovar's numbers suggest he might not find success today. Although both teams have had their ups and downs recently, the Tigers have a better chance of holding Tovar to no hits. Just remember, it's never a sure thing, and Tovar could surprise us!

Detroit Tigers vs Colorado Rockies: John Peck Under 0.5 Batter - Hits (+113)

John Peck has been struggling lately, averaging just 0.7 hits per game over his last three outings. The Detroit Tigers have also been having a tough time, coming out 0.8 runs behind in their last 12 games. With the Rockies' starting pitcher allowing around 3.5 runs per nine innings, Peck might find it hard to get a hit today. On top of that, both teams have similar hitting stats against left-handed pitchers, but Peck's recent performance makes the bet on him getting under 0.5 hits a solid choice. The odds are decent at +113, giving this underdog a real chance. However, it's worth noting that the Rockies have won only 3 of their last 10 games, so anything could happen on the field.

Detroit Tigers vs Colorado Rockies: Adael Amador Under 0.5 Batter - Hits (+106)

Adael Amador has been struggling a bit, and the numbers show he averages less than one hit per game at Coors Field. Now he's facing the Detroit Tigers, who have done well against left-handed pitchers this season. While Amador has a decent average, he's facing a tough matchup that might limit his chances to get a hit today. The Rockies have not been scoring much lately, averaging almost two runs behind in their last twelve games. This makes it hard for Amador to build momentum at the plate. With his current form and the Tigers' pitching, betting on him to get less than half a hit feels like a smart move, even if it's not a sure thing.
