Detroit at Boston

Detroit is a bad road team, just 9-19 after losing 5-2 at Fenway last night. The Tigers are on a 2-7 skid and they are underperforming as a road dog, 6-19 their past 25. The offense is last in the majors in runs scored and slugging, #29 in on-base percentage. Young Beau Brieske takes the mound with a 4.97 ERA on the road with Detroit losing his last four road starts. The Red Sox are clicking on a 14-4 run moving up to eighth in the league in pitching ERA, while the offense is seventh in runs, Top 10 in on-base percentage, and sixth in slugging. The Red Sox play their eighth consecutive home game and have won 11 of the last 15 versus Detroit, so back home field. Play Boston.
