Tigers vs Mets, May 14, 2026: How to Watch, Predictions, and More
Detroit Tigers vs. New York Mets preview, with game details, pitching matchup, and prediction for the series finale at Citi Field.
Introduction Detroit Tigers have one more chance to leave New York with a win after dropping Wednesday’s game, 3-2, in the 10th inning to the New York Mets . The offense again had a hard time getting much going, and two runs were not enough despite a strong night from the pitching staff. Detroit will turn to Keider Montero , who has helped steady the rotation with Justin Verlander out.
The 25-year-old has turned in two straight quality starts, over which he put up a 1. 42 ERA and 3. 91 FIP over 12 2/3 innings with a win to show for.
Montero will face the Mets for the first time. On the other side, Nolan McLean gets the ball for New York. The 24-year-old has given his team steady work through eight starts.
He has given up at least one run in all eight of his starts, but he has also posted strong strikeout totals while not walking more than two in any of his outings. McLean has faced the Tigers once before — last year on Sept. 2 in Detroit, when he threw a quality start by allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings for the win.
