Miami Marlins vs Detroit Tigers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/12/26

The Miami Marlins will take on the Detroit Tigers in the 3rd game of their series on Sunday. The Tigers won the first 2 games, outscoring the Marlins 8-1. Neither team has hit the ball well in this series, with the Tigers posting 14 hits and the Marlins tallying 8 hits. On the mound today, we will see Sandy Alcantara of the Marlins and Tarik Skubal of the Tigers. Alcantara has been incredible this season. Through his 3 starts, he has pitched 24.1 innings, giving up just 10 hits and 3 earned runs. They will expect him to go deep into the game today against a Tigers lineup that bats .175 against Alcantara through 57 at bats.

For the Tigers, their ace Skubal gets the start. Through 3 starts, Skubal has pitched 17.2 innings, giving up 17 hits and 6 earned runs. The issue is that he has a 1-2 record because of the Tigers’ inability to hit the ball. On the season, they are batting .235 with 56 total runs through 15 games. On the other side, the Marlins are batting .257 with 118 hits and 67 earned runs. Additionally, the Marlins bullpen has slightly better statistics than the Tigers bullpen. Overall, I give the hitting and bullpen edge to the Marlins, and I am going to trust Alcantara in this spot by taking the Marlins on the money line.
