Colorado Rockies vs Detroit Tigers Match Prediction 08 May 2025

The Colorado Rockies have nothing to prove and it is just difficult to back them in this game. Looking at their overall performances to this stage of the season, the home side has failed to display any competitiveness and they remain the worst side in baseball. On the other hand, the Detroit Tigers have been more dominant and are displaying they have what it takes to finish top of the National League game in game out. While they have started the season on the right track, the fact that the bookies have them as favourites makes it difficult to doubt their chances of winning. 

While the last meeting of this game ended with many runs, I do not trust the Colorado Rockies to have much display offensively especially with Kyle Freeland starting on the mound for them. This is a game for the Detroit Tigers and I will back them to open this double header with a win.
