The Detroit Tigers had the look of a team that was on its way to a World Series Title, as they dominated early, but have stumbled since, including one-time ace Justin Verlander. While things have not gone well, they are now holding value as they are suddenly an under dog behind Verlander, at Cleveland with a pitcher that has a major league career record of 4-7, and a career ERA of over 5. I'm just not buying it here. The Tigers have won 4 straight games as an under dog and have an 11-5 record in their last 16 vs a right handed pitcher, and have won 6 of Verlander's last 8 starts on the road. Tribe has lost 6 straight games within the division, and the Tigers are 16-6 in the last 22 meetings including 10-4 at Cleveland, and 15-7 overall behind Verlander. Make the play on Detroit in this one.
