Since July, Tampa Bay is on a 10-18 slide. This is a difficult situational spot for the Rays ending a nine-game road trip. They're looking road-weary losing two of the last three, including a 4-2 loss to Detroit yesterday as -147 chalk. Tampa Bay is 14-27 after playing six or more straight road contests and 35-45 on the road versus an AL squad with an on-base percentage of .320 or less. Detroit has won two of three and plays its third straight home game. Starter Matt Manning is holding batters to a .230 average and the Detroit relief staff is 11th in WHIP. The Tigers are 22-18 against an AL opponent with an on-base percentage of .320 or less, plus 9-5 versus an AL starter with an ERA of 3.70 or better. Play Detroit.

Tampa Bay at Detroit
WIN
Detroit's hitting continues to be terrible and the Tigers managed only three hits while being shut out 8-0 by the Rays on Friday night. Three of the four meetings this season have gone UNDER with the Tigers scoring a total of only three runs. Tampa Bay also has stayed UNDER three of four while allowing 10 runs and seven came in one game against the Yankees. Aaron Civale will make his first start for the Rays after coming over in a trade with Cleveland where he was 5-2 with a 2.34 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. Civale has given up only five runs his past five starts in 31 1/3 innings. Tarik Skubal has a 0.97 WHIP in five appearances for Detroit. The Rays are 7-3 UNDER their past 10 road games and the Tigers have gone UNDER eight of nine Saturday games. Take the UNDER.
