Detroit won 8-2 on Wednesday, but the lack of healthy starting pitchers is causing the Tigers to use bullpen games nearly every day. That will eventually take its toll and they used five relievers last night and now have to play a day game following a night game. Justin Steele pitched only two innings his last start due to rain delays, but the Cubs have won his past three starts while he has allowed just two earned runs in 14 2/3 innings. Chicago has won Steele's past four home outings versus teams with losing records. Detroit has lost nine of 11 interleague road games against left-handed starters. Take the Cubs as a Max Play.
