Scott Reichel grabbed the Tigers –1.5 at +104, arguing the talent gap is too large for Washington to keep pace. Detroit is in form after thumping Trevor Williams in Game 1 and faces the wildly inconsistent Irvin, who was shelled for nine earned his last time out. Scott liked that Detroit’s lineup is heating up on the road (11 runs Wednesday) while rookie starter Keider Montero flashed strikeout upside against Oakland. With the Nationals unable to pitch (league-worst bullpen ERA), Scott expects Detroit to cover the run line again.

The tout urged bettors to back Detroit on the money line. He called the Tigers "arguably the best team in the American League" through the first half and highlighted their .257 average versus NL clubs, buoyed by a .268 June clip. Rookie left-hander Dietrich Enns dazzled in his debut, one-hitting Oakland over five frames, and now draws a Nationals squad with the NL’s second-worst home record. Washington counters with Jake Irvin, who has been torched by AL offenses, yielding 12 runs in 16 interleague innings and carrying a 4.73 ERA. With Detroit ranking 3rd in batting average and 4th in runs, the tout believes the Tigers "should win this game without much trouble."

B Wade stacked James Wood OVER 1.5 hits+runs+RBIs alongside Abrams for correlation. Wood has topped this mark in eight of his last ten games and racked up a hit plus three runs in the nightcap of Wednesday’s twin-bill. Facing the same Dietrich Enns that Wade is fading, Wood benefits from the same skeptical outlook on the 34-year-old’s staying power. The prop pays 4.12x on Chalkboard versus 3.98x on Underdog, one of the payout edges Wade highlighted.

B Wade called CJ Abrams a "dog" and grabbed OVER 1.5 hits+runs+RBIs at even money. Abrams has cleared this prop in 9 of his last 10 and 15 of 20 despite several low-scoring team outputs. Detroit is starting Dietrich Enns, a 34-year-old journeyman making just his third MLB start and first since 2021. Wade doubts Enns can replicate the zero-run, three-hit debut he tossed last week, especially against Washington's young, aggressive lineup. Abrams’ combo of speed, pop, and lineup spot keeps multiple paths open to two counting stats.

B Wade backed Colt Keith OVER 1.5 hits+runs+RBIs. Keith has smashed this line in five straight, including a four-hit double-header Wednesday. He bats .277 versus right-handers—roughly 20 points better than his overall average—and draws a scuffling Jake Irvin. Irvin has allowed at least three runs in five of his last six starts and averages 4 ER across only 5 IP over his last five turns. Wade expects Detroit to generate traffic early, positioning Keith for multiple counting stats.

It’s The Final Round recommended Riley Greene over 0.5 hits against Cole Irvin. Greene is 2-for-4 (.500) in their brief history and is scorching right now, posting hits in 7 of his last 10 and 11 of his last 14 games. Those trends, combined with Irvin’s contact-friendly profile, make Greene a strong one-off for hit props and a mid-tier DFS target.

Just A Bet Outside played the Detroit Tigers team-total OVER 2.5 runs as the first leg of his alt-total parlay. Detroit owns MLB’s second-best wRC+ (135) and tops the league in slugging and ISO versus right-handed pitching over the last three weeks, scoring 3+ runs in eight of their last ten and 76% of games started by righties this season. Jake Irvin brings a 4.98 xFIP and just a 16% strike-out rate against left-handed bats, exactly where the Tigers do their damage. He has surrendered two or more earned runs in 14 of 17 starts and limped through June with a 7.01 ERA and .303 BAA. Add nine guaranteed road at-bats plus a bottom-five Nationals bullpen and three runs look almost automatic.

Rockford targeted the second game of the double-header and played Washington first-five money line (or +0.5) with Mackenzie Gore on the bump. Gore has surrendered only three earned across his last three starts and owns a 2.92 ERA at Nationals Park, but the bullpen implodes once he departs, making the F5 angle essential. Opposing starter Jack Flaherty carries a 4.65 ERA with Detroit dropping his last three outings. Rockford pointed out the Tigers rank 24th in wRC+ vs lefties, giving Gore the platoon edge. He expects Washington to lead through five before the relief chaos begins.

Lindquist said he is eyeing an over on MacKenzie Gore’s strikeout prop—potentially climbing the ladder—when the southpaw faces Detroit in Game 2. The Tigers will have already faced multiple pitchers in the opener and could rest left-handed thumper Kerry Carpenter (hamstring) for the nightcap, removing one of their lower-K but more dangerous bats. Detroit still owns a 25% K-rate versus lefties and is especially vulnerable up top if Riley Greene slides to the field and younger bench bats replace starters. Gore’s 28% strikeout rate and fastball/slider combo set up well here, and Lindquist expects the number to open modestly because it is the second game of a double header.

Cash Out Sports Picks laid the juice with Detroit. The Tigers own a 3.71 bullpen ERA (13th) compared to Washington’s 5.84 (30th) and rank 5th in team OPS (.750) while scoring 4.99 R/G. Trevor Williams brings a 5.65 ERA overall and an ugly 5.89 ERA with a .292 BAA at Nationals Park. Detroit has won two straight series and averages 6.08 runs across its last 12 tilts, so the tout expects the superior pen and lineup to handle business.

It's The Final Round targeted Riley Green props against Nationals right-hander Trevor Williams, calling it his "absolutely love" play. Williams has imploded over his last three starts, surrendering a .428 average to left-handed hitters. His top two pitches make up 69 % of his arsenal and both are getting crushed: four-seam fastball 43 % usage (.407 BAA) and sweeper 26 % (.341 BAA to LHB). Green owns a red-hot .478 average vs righties the past 10 days, slugs .271 against four-seamers on the season, and is batting .364 off sweepers. He has hit safely in 10 of his last 13 games and lands on the tout’s seven-man home-run list. The analyst recommends Green for "record a hit" parlays and long-shot HR props alike.
