Despite the first two games of the series staying Under the total, Tom Oldfield's Cubs vs. Tigers predictions expect a lot of early offense this afternoon.

It was another flashy display from the reigning AL Cy Young award winner, Tarik Skubal, as the Tigers' ace went 7.2 innings, allowing eight hits, one run, and striking out six batters in 94 pitches. Skubal notched another win in the game, and he finished his 7.2 inning masterclass while making Major League Baseball history.

The MLB-leading Detroit Tigers are anticipating a large crowd for their weekend series against the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs in Detroit.
