St. Louis at Detroit

This game is the tale of a pair of underachieving teams. The St. Louis Cardinals have played poorly over their last 24 games, sporting a disappointing 9-15 mark. They lost here last night with their best pitching option on the mound in Lance Lynn (6-3). That should help fuel the Tigers who were in need of a big win vs. a quality pitcher to get some momentum going. The Tigers have won three straight and five of their last six and can reach the .500 mark with a win in this one. The Cards have now dropped six of the last seven started by Jake Westbrook. The Cardinals’ attack is missing in action as they have scored 3 runs or less in eight of their last nine games. The Tigers have been a potent interleague home team, especially as a favorite vs. right-hand starters where they are an off the charts 43-13. Play on Detroit.
