The Detroit Tigers come into this game having lost two in a row. They take on the New York Mets in the first game of a three-game interleague series. The Mets will send Joey Lucchesi to the mound. He is 1-0, with a 2.19 ERA, while the Tigers will send Michael Lorenzen in opposition. He is 0-1 this season, with a 7.07 ERA. The Mets have lost three of their last four games, but they’ve won seven of their last 10 road games. They have scored 24 runs in their last four road games. Lorenzen has given up 11 runs in three starts. The Tigers have lost four of their last five games and four of their last five home games. They have scored 14 runs in their last three home games. Lucchesi has given up three runs in two starts. The Mets have an advantage at starting pitching and in the bullpen. I don't think the Tigers can score enough against the Mets pitchers.
