Detroit Tigers vs Boston Red Sox Match Prediction 12 May 2025

The Detroit Tigers have been excellent this season and despite losing to the Texas Rangers, it is still difficult to write them off. While looking at their journey to this stage of the season, it is clear this side has a chance in every series they play. On the other hand, the Boston Red Sox have picked up serious form in their last two series, having now won consecutive times. However, on the road, it is difficult to trust the Boston Red Sox especially after a losing record for the Detroit Tigers. Yet, I feel this game will still be a very tight one with a close scoreline while the Detroit Tigers should open the series with a win.
