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

The Detroit Tigers have been a bit shaky, winning just 4 of their last 10 games and averaging 1.2 runs behind their opponents in recent matchups. However, they do have a solid performance against left-handed pitchers this season, hitting just about as well as most teams in the league. Playing at home in Comerica Park, they could find the spark they need. The Colorado Rockies are struggling too, winning only 3 of their last 10 and averaging 1.9 runs behind in their recent games. Their hitting against lefties is decent but not much better than the Tigers. This matchup is tight, and with both teams showing some weaknesses, the Tigers have a good chance to take this one at home. The biggest risk is how close these teams have been in recent games.

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

The Detroit Tigers have shown some fight lately, winning 4 of their last 10 games. They've been decent against left-handed pitchers, with a hitting performance that's right around average for the league. Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies have struggled too, winning just 3 of their last 10 and not scoring much over their recent games. They have a similar hitting record against lefties, but their overall form has been weaker. That's why I like the Tigers to win by at least two runs here. The odds are favorable, and our numbers suggest they could win by about four runs. The biggest risk is that both teams have been inconsistent, which could make this game tighter than expected. Still, I think the Tigers can pull off a solid win at home.

That is everything our model likes in this game. Prices can move before you get on, so check the board at your bookmaker. Bet what you can afford to lose. If betting stops being fun, take a break.
