Chicago Cubs vs Detroit Tigers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Sunday, 06/08/25

In this game, we will see the Chicago Cubs take on the Detroit Tigers in a game that will decide the series. On the mound, we will see Cade Horton of the Cubs and Jack Flaherty of the Tigers. Horton is a rookie and has a 3.51 ERA this season. So far, he has pitched in 5 games with the Cubs winning all of those games. An additional note, is that Horton has only walked 5 guys through 25.2 innings. This is huge when we think about giving up unnecessary runs. On the other side, we have Flaherty who holds a 3.72 ERA but a 4-6 record. The Tigers have won his last 2 starts and he has pitched 12 innings giving up just 1 run. These numbers are fantastic, but we have to consider the fact that these games were against the Chicago White Sox and the San Francisco Giants. Those are 2 of the worst batting teams on the year.

On the hitting side, the Cubs rank second in batting average with a .261. Additionally, the Cubs are averaging 6.15 runs per game in their 33 away games this season. This may prove to be a tough matchup for Flaherty as he has had 5 starts where he has given up 3+ runs. Of more concern, is that Flaherty has had a few games this season where he has given up multiple home runs. In yesterday’s game, the Cubs hit 5 total home runs. For the Tigers, they are also batting well but have struggled to turn hits into runs. Overall, I believe that Flaherty will struggle against the hot hitting Cubs while the Tigers will continue to struggle to get runs. I am taking the Cubs to win the series.
