Chicago at Detroit

The Detroit Tigers have been lethal in this role behind Max Scherzer, and last night's embarrassing loss just ups the ante in this one as the Tigers should be ready to pour it on here. Max Scherzer has few if any peers when pitching as a home favorite where the Tigers own a 30-6 record in his last 36 starts in this role. He hasn't just come out on top in this role, he has pitched games resulting in the Tigers winning by an average of 2.6 runs per game, so the runline is certainly a hot spot for in this one. Hector Noesi has not fared well vs. the Tigers in a pair of starts against them as he owns a 7+ ERA against them. Scherzer is 4-0 with a 2.21 ERA in his last four starts, and also owns an 11-5 mark vs. Chicago backed by a 2.40 ERA in 21 career starts, so don't expect much if anything from the Pale Hose in this one. Chicago is a dismal 27-64 in their last 91 vs. a winning team, and they have played to an 8-1 mark to the UNDER to a posted total of 7 to 8.5 in their last nine. Overall they are now 10-3 to the UNDER in their last 13. The Tigers have played strong to the UNDER when Scherzer has had an extra day of rest where they are 20-7-1 in their last 28. The Tigers are 4-0 against the White Sox in Scherzer's last four starts against them, and five of his last seven starts against them have fallen shy of the total. Chicago is just 9-26 in their last 35 in Detroit as well. Take Detroit on the runline and the UNDER.
