MLB Betting Trends
Detroit
The Tigers have lost five of Liriano’s last six starts overall and his last four road starts. They also have lost 15 of their last 21 Friday games.
Toronto
The Blue Jays have won eight of their last nine home games and four straight at home against a losing team.
Prediction:
Stroman has some poor numbers this year, but he looked respectable in his return from injury last weekend. He pitched five scoreless innings against the Angels on the road. The Tigers are really struggling at the plate and Liriano has been trending downward on the mound. Look for Toronto to add to Detroit’s losing streak tonight.
The Pick: Toronto Blue Jays -180
