Detroit Tigers vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 06/02/26

The Detroit Tigers fired out to a 6-0 lead heading to the bottom of the fourth inning in Monday’s series opener, before Tampa Bay responded. The Rays sliced the lead to 8-5 after six, and it was 10-9 heading to the ninth inning. The Rays just couldn’t get over the hump in a tremendously exciting game. Tigers C Dillon Dingler had an amazing game, going 4 for 5 with a double, two homers, four runs scored and four RBI, while LF Kerry Carpenter went 3 for 5 with a double, home run and two RBI, while FH Riley Greene ended up 3 for 4 with a double, solo homer, a walk and three RBI.

The Rays had their owner hitting heroes, as DH Yandy Diaz went 3 for 5 with a double, while 3B Junior Caminero launched a 2-run homer in the fourth inning, and he scored three runs with two walks. The Tigers halted a four-game losing skid, and they broke out of their offensive slump, too, as the Tigers had just six runs scored in the previous four games. For the Rays, they’ve allowed at least nine runs in four of the past seven games, allowing 57 runs in the seven-game span, or 8.2 runs per game (RPG). The Over is 4-1 in the past five games, and we’ll side with the Over in Tampa Bay games until the pitching starts to settle down.

Over 8.5 (-105) at time of publishing. Playable to -120.
