Detroit at Tampa Bay

Detroit has been a disappointment all year and is about to get swept in Tampa Bay. Detroit has a losing road mark at 1-7 in their last eight road games. The Tigers have given up 114 homers – most in the major leagues - after surrendering five in the series. No one has faith in former ace Justin Verlander (0-3, 5.57 ERA) and the Tigers are 5-17 when he is an underdog. Tampa Bay will be sorry to see these guys leave town. The Rays received four homers from catcher Curt Casali and 15 runs combined in the first two games of the series. The Rays are on a 6-2 run at home, plus 9-3 when ace Chris Archer (9-7, 2.67) is chalk. The Tigers are 2-6 against the Rays 2-5 at Tampa Bay, so grab the home team. Play the Tampa Bay Rays.
