The Tigers have become a very potent home team as they are now 25-9 here in their last 34 played at home, which has kept them atop the Central division. The Rays’ problems have been on the road where they are now 56-148 against a team with a home winning percentage of .600 or higher, so being a favorite here in a situation that has shown them winning just 27% of the time shouts value, especially against a Tiger team steamrolling everyone at home. Matt Garza has not been the answer against teams from the AL Central for the Rays, who have struggled to a 2-9 mark in his last 11 against the Central. In a game expected to show some offense, when the total has been 9-10.5, the Rays are a dismal 1-12 in their last 13 with him on the hill. The Tigers are not just beating the cupcakes at home either as they are 23-9 at home against teams with a winning record. We have a live dog here and I'll go with Detroit in this one.
