Detroit at Tampa Bay

Premium Pick

Tampa lost a tough one at home but Justin Verlander has been tough all season. They should have a much easier go facing Armando Galarraga here, and his 5+ ERA. The Rays have owned the spot they are in here, as they are now 73-27 in their last 100 home games vs a righthand starter, and an amazing 50-11 as a favorite of -151 to -200. That also includes a record of 16-4 to that range with Shield's on the mound. The Tigers have not found the win column too frequently on the road. With Galarraga on the mound on the road as an underdog, they are just 1-10. Looking at the Tigers overall mark of 23-56 in their last 79 as a road dog, it doesn't bode well for them in this spot either. I'll go with the Rays in this one.

3 units on Tampa Bay -1.5 runs +110 (runline) (risk 3 to return 3)
