◈ Detroit
Tarek Skubal (15 wins, 4 losses, 2.58 ERA) is aiming for his 16th win of the season. On the 25th, he secured a victory after pitching 5 innings with 3 earned runs against the White Sox. Skubal showed a bit of relaxation on the mound because the offense erupted early. He is particularly strong in home night games, so there is a high chance of a bounce-back. The Detroit lineup, which struggled against Hauk the previous day, came alive by targeting the bullpen and scored 5 runs, including a 3-run homer from Kerry Carpenter, which is a relief as their usual strong late-game performance returned. The main concern is still attacking the starting pitcher, and the bullpen, which faltered in a tie-break situation, is always a point of contention.
◈ Boston
Nick Pivetta (5 wins, 9 losses, 4.61 ERA) is looking to achieve his 6th win of the season. He had a poor performance against Houston on the 21st, allowing 5 earned runs in 5 innings. His pitching has been shaky throughout August. Given his recent pitching form, it is realistic to have low expectations for Pivetta on the road. In the previous game, Boston’s offense took advantage of Meyers and Miller, scoring 7 runs, including 3 home runs, showcasing their strength against right-handed pitchers. However, the bullpen allowed 5 earned runs over 4 innings, and closer Kenley Jansen’s blown save was disappointing.
◈ Comment
Boston's offense tends to favor right-handers significantly, making it very challenging for them to attack Skubal, who is a lefty. The key will be whether the Detroit lineup can deliver because Pivetta has a pitching style quite different from Hauk, and Detroit's batters tend to perform well when Skubal is on the mound. With a stronger starting pitcher, the Detroit Tigers are closer to victory.
