Tampa Bay at Detroit

This is the fifth straight road game for Tampa Bay, riding a three-game skid. This is a big park, great for pitchers and Tampa Bay has ace Chris Archer going with 114 strikeouts in 92 innings. But the team doesn't score runs for him at 4-6 when he takes the mound, plus a losing record against this Detroit team despite 3.63 ERA the last seven starts against them. Archer is 17-4 UNDER the total against AL teams, scoring 4.9 runs or more per game. Tampa Bay is also 5-16 when Archer has five days of rest, as well as 21-52 away against a team with a winning home record. Detroit is home for the fifth straight game and the Tigers are 47-30 after 3+ consecutive home contests. The loss of Victor Martinez will take Detroit's cleanup hitter out of the lineup for at least the next 10 days, but the pitching staff has Michael Fulmer (3.40 ERA) going, with the team 25-11 when he starts. He has walked just 16 in 79 innings. This will be his fourth career start against the Rays, sporting a 1.80 ERA against them. Tampa Bay is on a 3-8 run against Detroit, so back the home team in a pitcher's duel. Play Detroit and the UNDER.
