Tigers 4, Red Sox 3

LEAN TIGERS (+155)because they have a slight edge in the pitching matchup, theres a line freeze in the betting market and this isnt a profitable spot for the Red Sox (-190). Detroits RL has better value but the Tigers cannot hit right-handed pitching.

The starting pitching matchup is a toss-up but Detroits bullpen is 5th in both FIP (3.34) and WAR (3.0) while Boston is 16th in FIP (3.93) and 18th in WAR (1.0), according to FanGraphs.

Also, nearly 90% of the cash is on the Red Sox but the line hasnt budged off the opener, per Pregame.com. This line freeze suggests that oddsmakers are confident in their pricing and are inviting more pro-Tigers action.

Finally, Boston is just 5-6 SU as home favorites of -150 or greater vs. right-handed starters with a minus-26.0% return on investment (ROI).

Its only aLEANto theTIGERS (+155)since their RL is going for a cheap price.

BETa third of a unit on the TIGERS +1.5 (-130)based on the previous analysis and the Red Sox -1.5 (+105) are 4-7 RL in the situation described above with a minus-24.1% ROI.

That said, Id go light on the TIGERS +1.5 (-130), if at all, since they are in the midst of another disappointing year and their lineup ranks last in BB/K rate, wOBA and wRC+ vs. right-handed pitching, per FanGraphs. Also, the Under 9.5 (-120) is my favorite wager in this game.

BETa half-unit on theUNDER 9.5 (-120)only because we are getting to the party late on the total. Tigers-Red Sox opened at a 10-run total but has been lowered to the current price.

However, Detroits lineup scores just 2.7 runs per 9 vs. right-handed starters and the Tigers are 16-29-2 O/U against righty starters with a plus-22.3% ROI toward the Under.
