Premium Pick

The Tigers go for the sweep with a motivated Justin Verlander on the mound. Despite a great overall rookie campaign (16-9, 3.63 ERA), he's lost two in a row and wants to avoid his first three-game losing streak here. He should get plenty of run support as the Tigers go agains Runelvys Hernnadez who is 3-5 at home with a 6.53 ERA and the Tigers are hitting well (6.7 runs per game over their last seven). Kansas City, a team that has hit well at home for most of the season, has gone cold. Their last seven games - all at home - they've managed just 4.1 runs per game - over a full run less than their average. Favorites of -125 to -175 at 54% to 62% after 2+ wins are 61-20 (75%) vs. teams at 38% or worse over the past five seasons. And, the Tigers are 15-3 at -125 to -175 this season while KC is 3-19 at home after 5+ straight losses the last two years. Detroit for the sweep.
