The Tigers have won 10 of their last 13 games when scoring four or more runs.

The Indians are 5-1 in their last 6 during game 2 of a series and 1-5 in their last 6 games as a favorite. The Tigers are 32-71 in their last 103 during game 2 of a series and 34-80 in their last 114 home games. The over is 5-1 in Indians last 6 overall. The under is 7-3-1 in Tigers last 11 overall. The Indians are 37-15 in the last 52 meetings in Detroit and 49-12 in the last 61 meetings.
The Detroit Tigers have played surprisingly good ball over the last three weeks or so, but they’ve cooled off the last few days and Tarik Skubal isn’t somebody I’m running to the window to back. The Cleveland Indians continue to win games they’re supposed to win and Aaron Civale has been one of the better pitchers in the AL this season. You also usually don’t get Civale at these prices, so take advantage while you can. Give me the Indians and cheap price.
