Probable pitchers

Beau Brieske (0-1, 5.40) will make his second career start for the Tigers and oppose left-hander Clayton Kershaw (3-0, 2.65). Brieske will be pitching on six days of rest and Kershaw on five.

Brieske vs Kershaw

Brieske made his major league debut last Saturday against the Colorado Rockies in the second game of the doubleheader in Detroit. He took the loss as he gave up three runs on three hits in five innings while striking out three and walking two.

The 24-year-old Brieske made two starts for Triple-A Toledo to begin the season and went 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA. He had a 12-6 career record in the minor leagues with a 3.22 ERA in 34 games (23 starts) over three seasons after being the Tigers’ 27th-round draft pick in 2019 from Colorado State University-Pueblo.

Kershaw continues his strong start to the season last Sunday by beating the Padres in San Diego. He allowed one run and four hits in five innings with three strikeouts and no walks.

The three-time Cy Young Award has faced the Tigers just twice and has a 1-0 record and an 0.54 ERA.

Kershaw, whose NL Cy Young odds are +1200, has made only one start both at home and at night this season. That came against the Atlanta Braves on April 18 at Chavez Ravine when he got touched for four runs on five innings but was credited with the win.

Kershaw has had the better of the Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera when the two future Hall of Famers have infrequently matched up. Cabrera is 0 for 5 with three strikeouts.

Tigers vs Dodgers Betting Outlook

Justin Turner and Chris Taylor hit their first home runs of the season to lead the Dodgers to victory Friday.

Turner hit a two-run shot in the first inning to open the scoring. Taylor then hit a solo blast in the second to make it 3-0.

Tigers vs Dodgers Prediction

Kershaw has 379 major league starts and 188 wins on his resume while Brieske is still in the nascent stages of his career. While it’s a big number, the Dodgers on the moneyline is the way to go.
