DETROIT TIGERS
59-63 W/L, 39-24 Home, 5-5 Last 10, W1 Streak
Detroit send Max Scherzer to the mound, and he has enjoyed some good form this month. The right-handed hurler is 1-1 with a 1.35ERA in August and has given up just 4 runs and 14 hits in 20 innings. He has shut down the Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox.
It's worth mentioning that hitters like Cabrera, Nix, Brantley and LaPorta are all going to face him tonight and have not managed a hit against Scherzer this season combined!
Detroit also has a bullpen with an ERA under 4.00 and Cleveland are a bit cold, getting shut out last night too.
CLEVELAND INDIANS
50-72 W/L, 24-39 Road, 3-7 Last 10, L1 Streak
Josh Tomlin pitches for the Indians and he has a 1-2 record with a 2.96 ERA in 4 starts, all of which resulted in lowscoring games.
Away from home, he has faced the likes of Boston and Toronto and has done well. This will be his 1st match against Detroit, giving him an advantage against the Tigers hitters.
BETTING VERDICT
I'm taking the Under 8.5 as I can see at least one of these pitchers, if not both, frustrating the opposing hitters.
The Pick :
Under 8.5 runs
BEST BETTING TIP :
Take the Under 8.5 runs @ 1.90 (Pinnacle) - MAIN BET
