Detroit at Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Angels have finally hit their stride after under-achieving for the past two seasons. This game features the Tigers worst option on the mound in Drew Smyly, who has struggled to a 6-8 record on the season, and his only appearance this season against Los Angeles did not end well as he lasted just three innings and allowed four runs on six hits. The Tigers have not seen Tyler Skaggs, which generally favors the pitcher. Detroit has also fared poorly when Smyly takes to the mound on regular four days rest where they are 0-4 in his last four, as he appears to do better as a spot starter. The Angels have whipped up on this type of pitching as they are 36-15 in their last 51 against a starter with a WHIP of greater than 1.30. This has been a house of horrors over the years for Detroit as they are just 14-38 in their last 52 here. Make the play on Los Angeles.
