Los Angeles at Detroit

Justin Verlander had a bad stretch, but he has worked his way back to form. Over his last three starts he has not allowed more than 3 runs in any of them. Verlander has been a horse, especially as a home favorite where he has led the Tigers to an amazing 91-48 record over the last decade. He will be opposed by another standout starter in Hyun-Jin Ryu, who has had a lot of success on the road this season. He will have his hands full with a Tigers' lineup that has feasted on left-handed pitching where they are 18-9 on the season. The Dodgers have been amongst the worst road teams in interleague play where they are a woeful 27-55 in their last 82. The Tigers' prowess vs. left-handers extends to 22-6 when they face an interleague foe. Play the home team.
