Betting Preview for the Dodgers vs. Tigers Pitching

PITCHING PROBABLES: Dodgers: Justin Wrobleski (0-1, 7.20 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, four strikeouts); Tigers: Keider Montero (1-2, 4.64 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 19 strikeouts)

Wrobleski struggled in a losing effort against the Brewers in his MLB debut on Sunday, giving up four runs on five hits over his five frames.

From NBC Sports:

"The rookie left-hander struck out four batters on the afternoon while issuing a pair of free passes. Wrobleski cruised through the first three innings unscathed until he served up a two-run homer to Christian Yelich in the fourth inning. He was also tagged by Eric Haase for a two-run shot in the fifth. Wrobleski generated nine swings and misses on 76 pitches on the afternoon, registering a CSW of 30 percent. It’s likely that he’ll head back to Triple-A Oklahoma City following this spot start."

Detroit's scheduled starter Keider Montero tossed 6 1/3 scoreless innings and got a no-decision in the Tigers’ 1-0 victory over the Guardians on Monday.
