Detroit at Boston

The Boston Red Sox finally broke through, as this team came into their series opener with the Tigers on an eight-game losing streak. The Tigers were supposed to challenge for the AL Championship, but this team has been an utter disappointment, and the pitching has been brutal. None have been worse than Alfredo Simon, who over his last six starts is carrying the baggage of a 10.16 ERA, and a poor outing today could signal his release by the Tigers. Simon has been even worse on the road where his ERA on the season is 6.08. The Tigers are now 0-6 in their last six as a dog from +110 to +150, and the Sox should be revived after breaking the long losing streak, and they have won four straight vs. a losing team. Make the play on Boston.
