Bet the Diamondbacks vs. Tigers Series July 28-30

Arizona is a few games below the .500 mark and mostly playing .500 baseball with five wins over their last ten games.  Detroit, once the hottest team in Major League Baseball, were losers of their last six games coming into Sunday.  They are 1-9 over their last ten games.  For the Diamondbacks, this means likely improved value if you happen to be backing Arizona.  The D-backs hold a 6–6 record in road interleague games against AL teams   Find lines, totals and prop bets at BetUS here.

Diamondbacks 

The D-backs' biggest priority over this next week is clarity, though it won't be fully realized. The playoff field is still too muddled. The trade deadline, thus, is too early. And they only convoluted matters with a weekend sweep of the Cardinals. Still, though, the D-backs find themselves far enough out of the race -- not to mention injured enough throughout their pitching staff -- to make punting on 2025 the prudent choice. A bevy of their pending free agents are expected to be available. General manager Mike Hazen will be tasked with making long-term moves at the trade deadline without compromising the current team.

Tigers

In some respects, Detroit's recent swoon is a blessing in disguise. The Tigers' lead in the AL Central is still double-digit sturdy -- according to Fangraphs, the chances of them winning the division stand at 93.3% -- and soon, they'll get Kerry Carpenter back for their lineup. But the recent losses have fully highlighted the team's need for one or even two power arms at the back end of their bullpen since the Tigers seem to have a real opportunity to reach the World Series. If the Cardinals decide to trade Ryan Helsley, the Tigers will almost certainly be among the bidders.
