New York at Detroit

The Detroit Tigers suddenly find themselves 2.5 games behind the Kansas City Royals in the AL Central, and if the season ended right now they would not even be in the playoffs. This is from a team that boasts of the last three Cy Young award winners in their rotation. While things haven't come easy for them, the odds have flipped in their favor as they are posted as a home dog in this one. Hiroki Kuroda has given the Yankees a few good starts in succession, but against the Tigers he is still searching for his first career win in what will be his fifth start against them. The Yanks have been futile with Kuroda on the mound as a road favorite where they are just 1-7 in his last eight starts in this role. The Tigers are 11-5 in their last 16 at home vs. a team with a winning record, and the Yanks are just 2-5 here in their last seven. Make the play on Detroit.
