Minnesota at Detroit

The Tigers expect to win when Justin Verlander takes to the mound and they are 70-32 when he does so as a home favorite. The odds here look senseless to play on the home team, but when you consider the price at 2.5 to 1 odds, and Verlander is 19-4 (nearly 5-1), when he pitches at home to a line greater than -200 there is a lot of value to be had here. He is the ultimate stopper, and those odds become perfect when he takes the mound at home as a -200 or more favorite off a team loss. He has led the Tigers to a 14-0 mark in this situation over his stellar career. Play on Detroit.
