Phillies vs. Tigers: June 24, 2024 game notes, betting odds, etc.
As the Philadelphia Phillies and Detroit Tigers gear up for their first encounter in a three-game series on Monday, it's clear that both teams are in quite different positions.
The Phillies, enjoying a robust season with a 50-26 record, are looking to strengthen their winning form. The Tigers, on the other hand, at 35-41, are aiming to claw their way back from a less stellar performance.
All eyes are on Philadelphia's frontman Aaron Nola and Detroit's Casey Mize, as their pitching could set the tone for this series opener at Comerica Park.

Predictions
Aaron Nola, with an 8-3 record and a 3.64 ERA, is the pillar the Phillies are leaning on. However, he is coming off a rough patch and will be looking to reclaim his dominance on the mound.
On the other hand, Detroit's Mize, with an uphill battle at 1-5 and a 4.43 ERA, also has something to prove. Despite a rocky season, the Tigers displayed a glimmer of strength in their 11-2 rout over the White Sox on Sunday.
That being said, the Phillies' consistent form, especially their impressive 4-1 victory against the Diamondbacks, makes them the favorites. This will be a closely contested game, but with Nola's potential bounce back, I'm edging this one to the Phillies.
