Tarik Skubal is starting for the Tigers in this game and he is 10-3 with a 2.37 ERA this season. He has been great in his recent starts as he has allowed 1 earned run or less in 2 of his last 3 starts, only allowing 4 earned runs total in those 3 starts, and he has been doing this all season as he has been the ace for the Tigers. James Paxton is starting for the Dodgers here and he is 7-2 with a 4.24 ERA this season. He was a reliable starter at the beginning of the season, but now he has been unraveling a bit in recent starts. He has had a few bad starts this season, and now he has allowed 11 earned runs in his last 2 starts alone. The Dodgers have not been playing well in their recent games either, losing their last 4 straight games and getting swept by the Phillies in their last series. Their offense has also scored 3 runs or less in all 4 of those games while the Tigers have been heating up, scoring at least 5 runs in each of their last 3 and winning 6 of their last 7 games as well. The Tigers will win this game at home.
