Result:
LOSS

Detroit has already won more games this year than last. With a victory here, they will amass more road victories than they have since 1993. And we still have two more months of play to go. They should get it with ease as Nate Robertson brings his road record of 5-2 and 3.82 ERA into this one. The Tigers are 11-1 this season with Robertson pitching vs. teams scoring 4.7 or fewer runs per game. Facing him is Jae Seo who has a 1-4 home record and 5.14 ERA. Over his last three starts, Seo has posted a 9.91 ERA. Backing him up is a bullpen with a 6.55 home ERA. Detroit's bullpen has a 3.49 road ERA and the Tigers are scoring 5.6 runs per game on the road (vs. just 5.0 at home). This is why they are 39-18 on the road and 45-16 this season vs. losing teams. They are also 38-13 vs. teams with bullpen ERAs of 4.50 or worse and 20-3 as a road favorite of -125 or higher. Detroit here.
