Detroit Tigers vs Texas Rangers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 07/20/25

The Detroit Tigers have stumbled out of the blocks following the break, and now they turn to American League All-Star starting pitcher LHP Tarik Skubal to halt its skid. The Tigers have been getting decent pitching in the series, but the offense has been anemic. In Friday’s game, Detroit fell 2-0, and in Saturday’s game, it fell 4-1. Let’s hope Skubal has a little better support, and he doesn’t have a hangover after allowing two runs in his appearance in Atlanta on Tuesday night in the mid-summer classic against the National League.

The Rangers counter with LHP Jacob Latz, who is 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 48 IP in two starts and 19 relief appearances. The southpaw is expected to start, replacing RHP Nathan Eovaldi, who is dealing with tightness in his back. That’s great news for the Tigers, who could use a little good news. Detroit is 17-8 this season against left-handed starting pitchers, while the Rangers are a dismal 6-16 vs. LHP. Expect the Tigers to get the offense going, while Skubal handcuffs the Texas lineup for a much-needed victory in front of a national television audience.

Tigers -1.5 (-110) at time of publishing. Playable to -130.
