Colorado at Detroit

The Colorado Rockies have been a road disaster for years. Over the last decade, they have suffered multiple run losses over 300 times on the road. They are not immune to road disasters this season as they are 17-36, having suffered 22 losses by 2 runs or more. Justin Verlander is not having a good season, but he has gotten things straightened out in his last seven starts where five of them show that he allowed 3 runs or fewer. Franklin Morales has a 5.15 ERA on the season, but has served up 19 long ones in less than 100 innings of work, so the deep Tigers' lineup should be ready to score a bunch in this one. The Tigers have a 38-12 record when Verlander takes the mound as a favorite of -200 or more, and have won by 2.2 runs per contest. That margin expands to blowout proportions in the 38 wins, which have come by an average of 3.8 runs per game. Play Detroit on the runline in this one.
