A first-round pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, Mize is looking to establish himself as one of the better starters in the American League this season.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s hit 13 home runs in each of his last two seasons, and I think this is a great matchup for him considering how well he\u2019s fared at the plate to open 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n Tigers vs. Diamondbacks Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n Even though Mize struggled in the final two months of the regular season, the Tigers were 18-10 in his 28 appearances in the 2025 season.<\/p>\n That\u2019s a much better record than Arizona had with Pfaadt on the mound, and it\u2019s worth noting that Pfaadt ranked in the ninth percentile in expected ERA and the fourth percentile in expected batting average against.<\/p>\n So, the youngster was hit hard in the 2025 season and his numbers likely could have been much worse.<\/p>\n Detroit is expected to compete for an AL Central title again in the 2026 season, and it has one of the better pitching staffs in the AL. The biggest issue for the Tigers will be on the offense (currently 21st in OPS), but Pfaadt allowed a ton of baserunners last season, posting a 1.33 WHIP.\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019ll trust Detroit as an underdog, as it should have the starting pitching advantage in this matchup.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pick: Tigers Moneyline (-105 at DraftKings)<\/a><\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Claim the latest\u00a0DraftKings promo code<\/a>\u00a0offer today.
