Tigers vs Blue Jays Predictions and Picks

"The Tigers have found ways to win this season and they are doing it in style. They have the best record in baseball and they have won seven of their last eight road games .... They are going up against Bowden Francis, who has a 6.52 ERA at home this season. The Tigers offense will be able to get after him in this game. The Blue Jays offense has also been strong, but they haven't been able to cash in with their strong batting average .... In a high scoring game, the Tigers will be able to outlast the hosts." — Liam Keating, Winners and Whiners

"I'm on the over here. I get the case to be made for either side here, but you have two starting pitchers that haven't necessarily been the most reliable options for their respective teams this season in terms of keeping runs off the board. Bowden Francis has been one of the most home run-prone pitchers in baseball. Despite the Tigers' stellar record, Flaherty has been on the bump for almost half of their losses as a team this season and has been far less effective on the road. Give me the over here." — Chris Ruffolo, Sports Chat Place

"Detroit rolls into this series after a very high-scoring series with the Red Sox, where they scored 30 runs over three games, but they are just 12-10 on the road this year. Toronto is coming off a disappointing series against Tampa Bay, and they have allowed eight runs or more in two of their last three games .... Take the over here." — David Racey, PickDawgz
