Betting on the Boston Red Sox (+125)
Rodriguez has pitched much better ever since returning from a brief stint down at Triple-A. In seven starts since his return, Rodriguez has a neat 2.52 ERA with 39 strikeouts.
However, one of his least impressive starts in that stretch came against the Detroit Tigers. He gave up three runs on nine hits in just 5.1 innings as the Red Sox lost 4-3.
Betting on the Detroit Tigers (-135)
Justin Verlander’s streak of winning five-straight decisions came to an end as he took the loss in his last start against the Kansas City Royals. The 33-year-old righty gave up three home runs (all solo shots), the most he’s given up since his last loss back on June 26.
In the eight starts in between losses, though, Verlander was pitching like his old Cy Young-winning self. He lasted at least six innings in seven of those eight starts, and recorded a very shiny 1.78 ERA.
Verlander got the win in his only start thus far this season against the Red Sox back on July 25. He gave up just one run on five hits in six innings for a 4-2 Tigers win. Since last season, he has given up just two earned runs over 20 innings against the Red Sox.
Writer’s Prediction
Verlander bounces back at home as the Tigers (-135) score a big win over the Red Sox.
