Thursday's 7-1 win by the Tigers barely went OVER by half a run and these teams still have gone UNDER seven of the last nine meetings dating to prior seasons. Matt Shoemaker has faced Detroit four times in his career and is 2-1 with a 1.01 ERA and .196 opponent batting average against the Tigers and all four games went UNDER. Shoemaker has made seven starts this season and has allowed more than three runs in just two of them. Los Angeles hitters who have faced Jordan Zimmermann are batting a collective .205 against him, including Cameron Maybin and Andrelton Simmons who are a combined 10-for-52 against the right-hander. Detroit's top batters, Miguel Cabrera, Ian Kinsler and Victor Marinez are 7-for-35 versus Shoemaker. The Angels have stayed UNDER in eight of their last nine games against AL Central teams and they are 20-6-2 UNDER their last 28 home contests against teams with winning records. Play the UNDER.
