Tigers vs Diamondbacks predictionsTigers vs Diamondbacks best bet: Dillon Dingler 1+ RBI (+195)
Dillon Dingler was a key piece for the Detroit Tigers last season, hitting .278 across 126 games with 13 home runs and 57 RBI. He’s off to a red-hot start in this young 2026 campaign, batting .333 with five RBI already.
The catcher drove in a run in Monday’s loss and has recorded at least one RBI in three games.
When it comes to tonight’s matchup, the Tigers face Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Brandon Pfaadt, whose 5.25 ERA was the fifth-highest among all qualified starters last season.

Dingler has typically been batting seventh, but is getting RBI opportunities hitting behind Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson, and uber-rookie Kevin McGonigle.

COVERS INTEL:
Thirty-nine of Dingler’s RBI last season came against right-handed hurlers, and four so far this year are against righties as well.
Tigers vs Diamondbacks same-game parlay (SGP)
The Tigers may have lost the opener, but they were a perfect 3-0 last season against Arizona, and as a lineup, Detroit is hitting .360 against Pfaadt across 25 at-bats. Three different players in this lineup have registered multiple hits vs. the righty in minimal ABs.

After a tough defeat in Game 1 of the series, Detroit should come out with some fire and jump on Pfaadt early, setting the tone for a victory.
Colt Keith is 6-for-14 with three doubles, and in just four games, the 24-year-old has collected 2+ hits in three of those contests.
He was 2-for-5 on Monday with a pair of doubles, and all of his damage has come against right-handed pitchers.
Tigers vs Diamondbacks SGPTigers vs Diamondbacks home run pick: Riley Greene (+330)
Greene is hitting just .176 this season, but he finally found a bit of an offensive rhythm on Monday, finishing 2-for-5 with a pair of singles.

Sometimes, all a hitter needs is some confidence to get them going, and Greene has homered against Pfaadt before, who gave up 26 bombs last season, 14 coming off left-handed bats.
Greene also had a career year in 2025, clubbing 36 bombs.
