LA Dodgers at Detroit 6:40 ET
Tigers over Dodgers- Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal (10-3, 2.37 ERA) had his most dominant performance to date at Cincinnati on Sunday. He overwhelmed the Reds in a seven-inning, 93-pitch gem while racking up a career-high 13 strikeouts. Skubal only allowed one run and three hits and didn't issue a walk. He will be facing the Dodgers for the first time in his career during the opener of the three-game series. The Dodgers will counter with veteran left-hander James Paxton (7-2, 4.24 ERA) he struck out 208 batters in 2018 with Seattle. Injuries over the years have sapped his velocity. Paxton is 3-1 with a 3.13 ERA in seven career starts against the Tigers who have won six of their past seven games. Take DETROIT!
