10* TOP AMERICAN LEAGUE TOTAL - 151-129!
(MLB) Detroit vs. Tampa Bay,
Total: 8.50 | -120.00 Over
Result: Win
This is a 10* TOP AL TOTAL on the OVER Tigers/Rays.

I believe the opener of this series sets up as a "SLUG-FEST."

The visitors go with Casey Mize, who is 7-8 with a 3.66 ERA. He most recently allowed three runs over two innings against these very Rays last weekend. Expect another short outing for Mize here, as he'll quickly make way for the bullpen again as the team now tries to limit the rookies workload.

The home side goes with Luis Patino, who is 4-3 with a 4.62 ERA, most recently allowing two runs over four innings throwing opposite Mize last Saturday.

Patino has been better at home than on the road, but note that the Rays have seen the total go OVER the number in seven of their last nine after playing to three or more straight UNDRES in a row.

Both teams have been playing to several lower-scoring games of late, but all signs point to the value going the other way on the total finally.

The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
