Tigers +100 (4.5* MLB POD)
I love the Tigers here as they got their ace on the mound who is 14-2 on the road this year with a 2.48 ERA and in 3 career starts in Texas he has26K's to 4 walks and a 1.29 ERA and 0.81 WHIP. The Rangers starting line up has just a .224 average vs. him in 138 AB. He's dominated this team and it's no coincidence that the Tigers are 6-1 in his 7 starts vs. the Rangers. They are also 50-22 in his last 72 overall starts and 21-6 in their last 27 vs. a winning team while the Rangers go with their ace CJ Wilson. I don't have as much confidence in Wilson despite having good numbers with the starting line up vs. the Tigers that was mostly in relief. His one start he allowed 4 ER in 6.2 IP while allowing 10 batters to reach base. Wilson also mentioned he struggled in his first start vs. Tampa because he had extra time off and now he's 2-6 in his last 8 with 7 or more days of rest which he'll be on here today. I expect him to struggle against a Tigers line up that's hitting .287 with 6.65 runs per 9 vs. LHP in their last 10 games and they are 5th overall with a .783 OPS vs. LHP and have a .281 average on the season. Many think the Rangers have the bullpen advantage but the Tigers have a 3.90 ERA out of bullpen on the road while the Tigers post a 4.57 at home partially due to it being a hitters park, but the Tigers have Valverde closing games and he has not blown a save all year long.
