Miami Marlins at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and predictions

The Miami Marlins (11-31) and Detroit Tigers (20-20) begin a 3-game series Monday with 1st pitch from Comerica Park slated for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Marlins vs. Tigers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Marlins won 2 of 3 in 2023

Miami snapped a 5-game losing streak Sunday with a 7-6 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. 1B Josh Bell had a 3-run HR and after the Marlins blew a 6-3 lead, it was 3B Emmanuel Rivera who delivered a pinch-hit game-winning single in the 10th inning. It’s only the 6th home win for Miami this season.

The Tigers dropped the rubber match of their series against the Houston Astros 9-3 on Sunday. RHP Justin Verlander dominated his former team striking out 8 over 7 scoreless innings. The only offense Detroit could muster was a 2-run shot from 1B Spencer Torkelson in the bottom of the 9th. The Tigers are 5-3 in interleague.

Marlins at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 7, Marlins 4

Moneyline.

PASS.

I like the Tigers to handle their business at home against the worst team in baseball. I’m going to focus my wager on the run line in this one.

Run line/Against the spread

BET TIGERS -1.5 (+128).

Detroit has been beaten up lately by some of the best teams in the American League. They’ve dropped their last 3 series to the New York Yankees, Astros and Cleveland Guardians. Now, the Marlins come to town with the worst record in baseball. This is the time to get right and hopefully at least win the series if not sweep them at Comerica.

The Marlins run differential on the season is -89, they aren’t just losing games, they are getting throttled. Miami has dropped 8 of their last 9 road games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-110).

All the trends point to this game smashing the Over. They’ve gone Over the total in 2 of their last 3 meetings. The Marlins are 8-2 against the Over in their last 10, while the Detroit is 4-1 in their last 5.

You’ve also got basically a long reliever starting for Miami against a pretty pedestrian arm for the Tigers. We should see runs produced in this one.

Patchy dense fog turns to stronger thunderstorms for Metro Detroit to start the weekend

Patchy dense fog turns to stronger thunderstorms for Metro Detroit to start the weekend

4Warn Weather – SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy skies. A chance of showers and thunderstorms. A few storms could be strong with gusty winds and hail. High: 71.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy skies, becoming partly cloudy skies late. Low: 45.

SUNDAY (MOTHER’S DAY): Mix of sunshine and clouds, cooler temperatures. High: 61.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy skies. Another chilly night. Low: 41.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny skies, remaining chilly. High: 58.

After a beautiful end to the week on Friday with sunshine and a little cloud cover, with warmer temperatures moving into the region as well, some of us are waking up to some patchy dense fog on Saturday morning. Some places south of M-59 are seeing reduced visibilities down to around a mile. If you do run into some patchy dense fog, be sure to use your low beams.

That warming trend continues into the start of the weekend on Saturday, but it also brings a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Another cold front will work through the region by Saturday afternoon and early Saturday evening and that will bring our thunderstorm chance. High temperature is warming into low 70s by Saturday afternoon.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of the region under a Marginal Risk (1 out of 5) on our severe weather scale for the start of the weekend. Gusty winds and hail are the primary threats as we work through the start of the weekend, but this will not be a widespread threat for severe thunderstorms.

Behind that cold front for the end of the weekend on Sunday, we will keep a mixture of sunshine and clouds into the forecast. High temperatures running about 10 to 15° cooler to end the weekend. Expect high to warm into the upper 50s to lower 60s by Sunday afternoon.

Drier weather sticks around for the start of next week, before another chance of rain moves into the region by the time we get to Tuesday. The cooler-than-average temperatures will continue into the start of next week as well. Expect high temperatures to remain in the 50s for Monday and Tuesday.

Temperature start to warm up by the middle of next week, and Drier weather moves back in by Wednesday behind another cold front moving into the region. Expect high temperatures into the lower 60s on Wednesday to warm into the upper 60s by the time we get to Thursday. Above average temperatures move back into the region as we look ahead into the end of the week, expect high temperatures back into the lower 70s by the time we get to Friday.

Approval poll: Do you approve of Lions GM Brad Holmes? (post-2026 draft)

Approval poll: Do you approve of Lions GM Brad Holmes? (post-2026 draft)

It’s been quite some time since we checked in with Detroit Lions fans regarding their opinion of general manager Brad Holmes. The last time we polled our audience was almost exactly a year ago, following the team’s 2025 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, those poll results were lost to time (and a migration to a new content management system at SB Nation).

But as you can see below, Holmes has been an extremely popular figure among Detroit sports fans for pretty much his entire career.

Although, if there was a time when Holmes’ popularity took a hit, it was likely during the 2025 NFL season, when the Lions took their first clear step back since he and Dan Campbell came to town.

Since last year’s data was lost to time, this is a good opportunity to check back in with Lions fans. While Holmes certainly deserves a ton of credit for getting the Lions back to relevancy and helping them produce four consecutive seasons with winning records, there are some serious blemishes on his resumé now. The 2024 NFL Draft class has not lived up to his high standards through two seasons, some of his riskiest picks over the last few years have all failed to pay off, and last year’s roster just wasn’t good enough to withstand the injuries.

But Holmes is also coming off a very crowd-pleasing draft. Detroit addressed their two biggest needs with their first two selections, and there were no crazy head-scratching picks or expensive trade ups. Many have categorized his latest draft as “back to business as usual,” which could have some fans he lost back on his side.

However, that is all up to you. Vote on your thoughts about Holmes’ time in Detroit below, and share your extended thoughts in the comment section at the bottom of the page.
