(MLB) Pittsburgh vs. Detroit,
Money Line: -102.00 Detroit (Home)
Result: Loss
Look for the Tigers to stop their 3-game win streak.
We believe that Detroit starter Boyd is undervalued here as a pitcher similar to Marquez when we took him to beat the Giants as the Rockies won 4-0 as he nearly pitched a no hitter.
Boyd is 1-1 with a 2.60 era and he held the Indians to just 4 hits and 1 run, the Yankees on the road to 5 hits in 6 innings and 1 run and even when he didn't pitch well against the Bluejays, he still struck out 10 batters in that game in 5 innings. This is actually the best year he has pitched so far this year and it seems that he has figured things out after several years as a starter. He has always been talented but it seems to have come together a bit this year. The Pirates starter Musgrove has a 4 ERA in Interleague play and I think at the end of the day, the better AL pitcher at home and lineup get it done.
