Detroit Tigers @ Colorado Rockies - May 7, 2025

As a die-hard fan of my hometown Tigers, I can hardly contain my excitement for tonight’s interleague showdown at Coors Field against the struggling Colorado Rockies. Now, I know we’re all hoping for a great matchup, but let’s be real here — I’ve got my lucky jersey on and I’m feeling pretty confident about this one.

The Tigers are rolling into this game with a solid 22-13 record. They’ve been playing some great baseball lately, winning four out of their last five games. The boys are riding high after that massive 13-1 victory against the Angels, which just showcased their powerful offense and dominating pitching. Meanwhile, our starter Jackson Jobe is looking to keep the momentum going. With a 2-0 record and an impressive 3.0 ERA along with a whopping 8.4 strikeouts per game, he’s been proving himself as a force on the mound this season.

On the other side of things, we have Chase Dollander starting for the Rockies. His 2-3 record and sky-high ERA of around 5.4 suggests he’s had his struggles lately — not exactly what you want to see in your ace. To make matters worse for Colorado fans, they’ve dropped three straight games and have seen better days in terms of hitting as well; they’re averaging just over three runs per game! Ouch!

Let’s break down those batting stats because they tell quite the story: The Tigers are averaging just over five runs per game with a solid .249 batting average – not world-beating numbers but certainly enough to get it done against teams like Colorado that are sputtering offensively with only around three runs per game and a dismal .205 average!

With our hitters having better success at the plate — churning out nearly 8.6 hits and almost five RBIs per game compared to Colorado’s measly output — it really feels like we’re in for quite an exciting night if you bleed Tiger blue!

Now let’s talk betting lines because I’m always keeping an eye on those! With oddsmakers opening us up as -185 moneyline favorites against a Rockies team sitting at -28 in the win column…well let’s just say they must really be questioning how bad things can get for them this season! Plus, given both teams’ offensive outputs lately, I’m leaning towards taking that Over on the total set at 9.5—especially since Detroit has seen six of their last seven games go Over!

In conclusion, expect our beloved Tigers to take care of business tonight under those bright lights in Denver while boosting their win column even further into positive territory! So let’s grab those nachos, scream our lungs out from our living rooms or stands (wherever you watch!), and gear up for what should be another glorious chapter in Tiger history! Go Tigers!!
