Detroit Tigers

The Detroit Tigers come into this game riding high on the momentum of a significant victory against the Los Angeles Angels, securing a final score of 5-3. However, the focus for this game extends beyond just the win. It marks a poignant moment in baseball history, as it will be Miguel Cabrera’s final game at Dodger Stadium. Undoubtedly, there will be heartfelt recognition from the Dodgers organization, with Mookie Betts likely leading the charge in honoring the legendary Cabrera

This game goes far beyond competition; it provides a poignant farewell to Miguel Cabrera, an iconic talent loved by fans across baseball and beyond. His legacy will certainly live on for generations to come.

Now let’s turn our focus to the pitching matchups that will determine this contest. Eduardo Rodriguez of the Tigers will take the mound, having been an impressive performer throughout their season with an 11-8 record and 3.32 ERA. For him to have success against an impressive Dodgers lineup he must bring his A-game; their offensive production averages 4.03 runs per game while their pitching staff has allowed 4.69 runs per game on average.

The Tigers are currently enjoying an impressive four-game win streak and hope to extend it further. Their recent surge has revitalized their season, and they aim to cap it off on an optimistic note.

Players to watch: Spencer Torkelson 1B (GP 147, AB 558, R 82, H 130, 2B 32, 3B 1, HR 28, RBI 83, TB 248, BB 64, SO 156, SB 3, AVG 0.233, OBP 0.315, SLG 0.444, OPS 0.76, WAR 0.8, Javier Baez SS (GP 129, AB 485, R 56, H 106, 2B 14, 3B 4, HR 9, RBI 58, TB 155, BB 23, SO 122, SB 12, AVG 0.219, OBP 0.265, SLG 0.32, OPS 0.585, WAR 0.7

Los Angeles Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers are currently enjoying an upsurge following their 6-1 win against Seattle Mariners on Sunday, which not only completed a series sweep but also secured them their National League West crown and further cemented them as perennial contenders.

The Dodgers have long been one of the premier teams in Major League Baseball (MLB). In 2023 they continue their reign of dominance with an impressive overall record of 91-57 that cements their status as title contenders in this year’s World Series race. Yet even top teams can experience difficult days like Lance Lynn’s performance against the Padres on September 12th.

On the Dodgers’ side, the spotlight is on Lance Lynn, and there’s a pressing question regarding his performance in this crucial matchup. In his last start, Lynn displayed marked improvement by conceding only two runs in seven innings. However, two starts ago, he faced struggles, surrendering seven hits and eight runs in just 4.2 innings. The Dodgers’ offensive prowess, averaging 5.66 runs per game, often compensates for any pitching inconsistencies. In their recent Sunday victory, the Dodgers allowed only one run, contributing to a commanding five-run win.

As we look ahead to this game, there’s a palpable sense of anticipation and nostalgia, knowing that we are witnessing the closing chapter of Miguel Cabrera’s storied career. While both teams are enjoying a hot streak, it’s important to note that Lance Lynn’s performance may hold the key to the outcome. In light of Lynn’s recent fluctuations on the mound, this game has the potential for a high-scoring affair, making the over a compelling play.
