Detroit Tigers vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction and Picks, August 28, 2026

The Detroit Tigers have not been in great form lately, winning only 2 of their last 10 games. However, they are facing a left-handed pitcher today, and they've been able to hit just about as well against lefties as most teams in the league. Even though they've struggled, their chances improve against this kind of pitcher, especially at home in Comerica Park. On the other hand, the Los Angeles Dodgers have been doing well, winning 6 of their last 10 games and scoring more runs than the Tigers on average. The biggest risk for the Tigers is that they've been coming up short by nearly 2 runs a game lately. Still, at these odds, the Tigers have a real shot to pull off an upset.

Detroit Tigers vs Los Angeles Dodgers: Over 7.5 Total Runs (+100)

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been playing well lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games. However, they have held their own against lefties, matching the league average. Betting on over 7.5 total runs seems solid since our numbers suggest a combined total of about 8.7 runs. The risk here is that the Tigers' recent form could keep their scoring low, but the Dodgers' strong hitting gives a good chance for plenty of runs. It could be a fun game to watch with some fireworks at the plate!

Detroit Tigers vs Los Angeles Dodgers: Los Angeles Dodgers -2.5 Spread (+140)

The Detroit Tigers are really struggling lately, having only won 2 of their last 10 games and often falling behind by almost 2 runs in recent matches. Facing the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have been in better form with 6 wins in their last 10 and a strong hitting record against left-handed pitchers, makes things tough for Detroit. The Dodgers have been scoring well, averaging nearly a run more than the Tigers in their last 12 games. We're picking the Dodgers to win by at least 2.5 runs because they seem to have the upper hand in hitting and momentum. The biggest risk is that the Tigers do have a decent batting average against lefties, which could keep the game closer than expected. However, the Dodgers' recent performances suggest they could cover the spread.

Detroit Tigers vs Los Angeles Dodgers: Hunter Feduccia Over 0.5 Batter - Hits + Runs + RBIs (-154)

The Detroit Tigers have struggled lately, winning only 2 of their last 10 games. They haven't been scoring much either, averaging 1.7 runs behind in their last 12 games. On the other hand, the Los Angeles Dodgers are playing well, winning 6 of their last 10 and showing solid hitting against left-handed pitchers, where they have performed better than average. Hunter Feduccia has been a bit inconsistent, with his hits, runs, and RBIs all hovering around low numbers recently. But since the odds for him to get over 0.5 combined hits, runs, and RBIs are decent, it's worth a shot. The biggest risk is that he might not get enough chances in the lineup, but if he does, he has a good chance to contribute.

Detroit Tigers vs Los Angeles Dodgers: Shohei Ohtani Under 1.5 Batter - Hits (-238)

Shohei Ohtani has been a bit up and down lately, with his hits ranging from none to just two in his last ten games. The Tigers are facing the Dodgers, who have been playing well, winning six out of their last ten. When it comes to left-handed pitchers, Ohtani and the Tigers have been about average, which makes it tough to predict his performance today. Going with under 1.5 hits for Ohtani seems like a smart choice, given how inconsistent he's been lately. The biggest risk here is that the Tigers have struggled overall, averaging almost two runs behind in recent games, which might not give Ohtani many chances to shine.
