Detroit at Tampa Bay

The Detroit Tigers have a talented and powerful lineup, but overall it has not produced consistent results. The pitching rotation that not long ago housed three former Cy Young winners, is not nearly the same. Anibal Sanchez may be 10-7, but his 4.59 ERA is more than a run greater than Tampa starter Nathan Karns. There is another advantage here as the Rays not only have the starter advantage, they also have the advantage out of the pen, and a third, playing at home. Sanchez also carries a 5.08 career ERA against Tampa. The Tigers are just 4-9 in their last 13, and 1-7 in their last eight as a road dog from +110 to +150. This looks like a live situation for the home team, so make the play on Tampa Bay.
