Detroit at Texas

The Detroit Tigers were sailing along with the look of a team that was light years ahead of any other AL team in 2014. That perception and their reality has changed dramatically as the Tigers are 13-20 over their last 33 games. One of their biggest exposures is in the bullpen where closer Joe Nathan has been brutal with an ERA of 6.18 and five blown saves. Drew Smyly is just 3-6 on the season, and has been the weakest link in an otherwise strong rotation. The Tigers own a 1-8 record in their last nine games behind Smyly vs. a team with a losing record. The Rangers have dominated at home in their first game back after a long road trip of seven days or longer, where they are 24-9 in their last 33. Make the play on Texas.
