Detroit is home, but they are barely over .500 at home. Into town is a Tampa Bay team that has talent, but went through an awful stretch last month. However, that bad stretch is over as they are playing up to their ability, winning seven of eight games, all on the road. They are 6-1 against teams with winning records, and they have their ace going in David Price (3.50 ERA). Price has struck out 153 in 131 innings with only 17 walks! The Rays are 25-8 in Price's last 33 starts as a road favorite of -110 to -150. Price fanned nine over seven innings while giving up one run on four hits in a win over the Yankees on Tuesday. The Rays are 39-17 in Price's last 56 starts as a road favorite. Detroit has Rick Porcello going, and the Tigers are 3-8 when Porcello faces the AL East. Tampa Bay is 4-1 the last five meetings, plus 4-1 when Price faces Detroit. Play Tampa Bay!
