Detroit Tigers vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction: Phillies should get things right again

Comerica Park will host game 2 of the Major League Baseball encounter between the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies have the edge in the opener, but can the Detroit Tigers level things up?

The Detroit Tigers will hope for some positivity in this game after a defeat in the opener. In the meantime, the Detroit Tigers had just defeated the Chicago White Sox in their previous series, scoring 11 runs in their finale, compared to just one in their opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. Yet, the Detroit Tigers have just a 2-6 record in their last eight games, a poor record which they will look to improve in this game 2. The Detroit Tigers are seated 11th in the American League and have a 36-42 record in 78 matches.

The Philadelphia Phillies were brilliant in the opener of this game despite being on the road. In game 1, the Philadelphia Phillies scored eight runs, and in their last three games, they have scored 24 runs, conceding just three. However, this team currently has a 4-5 record and are seated at the top of the National League standings. 

The Phillies showed they are classed and why they are top of the National League. The Detroit Tigers were practically so poor in the opener, but I expect more from them here. However, this could be a tight one, as I expect more from the Tigers. Take the Philadelphia Phillies to win again, while the Detroit Tigers score a number of runs this time.
