Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Detroit Tigers. The MLB Pick for this match is Detroit -116. This is Turnbull’s first return to the bump this season and the Tigers will be more aware of his presence. On Keller’s side, he collapsed for seven earned runs in 3.1 innings pitched in his last appearance against the Padres on April 15. That makes Keller vulnerable against the Tigers who will take their revenge at home. The prediction, Detroit will win to a score of 7-4.
