8* TIGERS RUNLINE (SPECIAL)

Detroit lost the series opener of this 3-game set by a score of 5-3 yesterday, thanks in part to two errors and allowed two unearned runs: "We've got to play clean," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. "We're not going to win games if we don't play clean. I said that to the players before the game. Especially when you play playoff-caliber teams -- like we have with San Diego and Toronto and then Minnesota and Tampa." Alke Manoah is 11-4 with a 2.24 ERA for the Jays. He's been fantastic, but I still think this moneyline is ridiculous. Bryan Garcia gets the nod for the visitors, as he makes his season debut for Detroit (he's never faced the Jays over the last 3 years in the majors.) I say Toronto is vastly over-priced here and in a game that I see being decided late, or even in extras, I'm grabbing the 1.5 runs and the plus-money return on the Tigers!
