MLB FREE PICK: Take the under. According to latest MLB trends, the Tigers are 0-4-2 Under last 6 games following a win, 2-9-1 Under last 12 vs. American League East and 1-7 Under in Scherzer’s last 8 starts on grass. The Boston Red Sox are back to .500 after winning the final two games of their series against the New York Yankees to pull within four games for the second spot in the American League wild-card chase. Boston remains in last place in the AL East, however. The Tigers avoided a three-game sweep with a 4-1 victory over Toronto on Sunday and closed within 1 1/2 games of the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox. Detroit has gone 16-8 in July to climb back into the division race, but had lost four of five before Sunday's victory. Both pitchers are back in form and despite getting trounced in an early April matchup (13-12), this game will feature more strikeouts and less runs.
