The Detroit Tigers (59-40) are amid their longest losing streak of the season (six games), and we ponder with our Tigers vs. Rangers prediction whether American League Cy Young Award odds favorite Tarik Skubal can stop the bleeding when facing the Texas Rangers.

The Sunday Night Baseball first pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. ET from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas (ESPN).

Our Tigers vs. Rangers expert bets for Sunday Night Baseball take into account that Detroit ballooned from a -150 moneyline betting favorite to more than -200 at best sports betting sites after Texas changed its starting pitcher.

We analyze our best moneyline, player prop, and NRFI/YRFI plays in light of the new landscape of this matchup.

📊 Who will win today's Sunday Night Baseball matchup?

As of Sunday morning, the Tigers are favored to beat the Rangers in today's MLB matchup at 7:10 p.m. ET from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. I’m predicting the Tigers will beat the Rangers as -200 moneyline favorites now that Jacob Latz is starting for Texas in place of Nathan Eovaldi, scratched with a back issue.

🎯 Best Tigers vs. Rangers player props for Sunday Night Baseball

While the Rangers have already clinched this three-game series, they haven't been an offensive juggernaut, averaging fewer than four runs per game over the last four games.

Now they face the best southpaw in the sport in Tarik Skubal, who has the most starts of 10 or more strikeouts and zero runs allowed among any starting pitcher (four).

Detroit is 12-2 in Skubal’s last 14 starts, and he faces a Rangers team that is an AL-worst 6-16 against left-handed starting pitchers. Texas is not an intimidating lineup for southpaws, as it ranks 28th in slugging and 29th in BABIP in that split.

All of that adds up to Skubal rebounding from his worst outing of the season in his last start (four earned runs over five innings while striking out five) as my best Tigers vs. Rangers player prop for Sunday Night Baseball.

Best player prop: Tarik Skubal Under 1.5 earned runs (-130 via DraftKings)

1️⃣ NRFI/YRFI bet for Sunday Night Baseball: YRFI/NRFI (Keep only your choice and add odds via BetMGM)

The NRFI is 7-0 in the Rangers’ last seven home games, but I cannot justify backing the -160 odds at BetMGM even with Skubal on the mound.

I am taking a flier that Detroit can score early against Eovaldi’s replacement, Jacob Latz, as part of my Tigers vs. Rangers best bets for Sunday Night Baseball.

Mike started in the sports writing industry in July 2019, and gained a lot of followers in his first year after finishing with the No. 2 overall record in an annual NFL betting competition, which made picks against the spread, and from an Over/Under and moneyline perspective. Mike is an avid fan of the NFL, MLB, tennis, and all college sports. In his opinion, March Madness is the best sporting event there is, and he's especially euphoric starting with conference tournament time in college basketball. Mike's a big advocate of "fading the public" and making plays that are contrarian, constantly citing that "there are reasons why they have those big shiny buildings in Las Vegas." When making wagers, Mike always scours the best odds at all of the major sports betting sites, where he mostly sifts through DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and bet365. He's tried several others and is of the firm belief that bettors should not just stick to one sportsbook, as there is always likely better value to be had with the same wager. In addition, while Mike received his undergraduate degree from Villanova University, he has no issue betting against the Wildcats when it comes to college basketball wagering, and suggests other bettors should always put their “head” before their “hearts.”
