ATS Matchup Insight | CappersPicks Insider Preview

Los Angeles (5-3) is off to a great start to the season, trailing the Giants by half a game in the NL West.

They are 1-2 at home this season, and ownership has to be happy, considering the amount of money is being spent on the club’s payroll.

Despite  being without Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw and ace Chad Billingsley, who underwent Tommy John surgery last April, the rotation has an ERA of 3.43 and the relievers are at 2.79 with a team ERA of 3.17.

Offensively, the lineup looks like it’s finally getting its horsepower, as Matt Kemp and Hanley Ramirez each hit their first two home runs of the season in Sunday’s 6-2 victory over t San Francisco.

And even though Kemp is hitting .273, the speedy Dee Gordon leads Los Angeles averaging .348.

Meanwhile, the Tigers (4-1) are also off to a good start, winning their first four before losing 3-1 to the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.

Detroit  has not been on the road yet this season and arrive in Dodgertown with a 1.5 game lead in the American League Central.

As a team, Miguel Cabrera and Austin Jackson lead the team in hitting with .350 each, while Ian Kinsler is swatting.304, and Torii Hunter .300, for the Tigers, who have outscored their opponents by seven runs.

Hunter, the former Los Angeles Angel, has clubbed home runs in each of the last three games.

Los Angeles will try and halt Hunter’s streak, by sending Dan Haren to the mound. The silver slugger went 0-for-3 off the right-hander last May when Haren was with the Washington Nationals.

The 33-year-old Haren also beat the Tigers last May, and has already begun the 2104 season with a strong start, allowing no earned runs in six innings Wednesday  in a 5-1 victory against the San Diego Padres.

The Tigers will counter with Max Sherzer , who has picked up where he left off following his American League Cy Young season of 2013.

The 21-year-old tossed eight shutout innings Wednesday in a 2-1 victory against the Kansas City Royals, but is just 1-3 against the Dodgers with a 4.45 ERA.

Matt’s Free Prediction:

Tigers – This one should be a battle and I like for it to stay under the total.
