Tigers vs Blue Jays Prediction
Detroit absolutely fell apart in the middle innings of game one on Thursday night, as they continue to be the worst team in baseball over the last few series. The Tigers are 32-19 at home this year, while the Jays are 24-25 on the road. On the other side, Toronto is red hot right now, as they try to pull away from the Yankees in the East. The Blue Jays are starting Berrios, who has allowed at least four earned runs in three of his last four starts. The Tigers are going with Montero, who has allowed seven earned runs and nine hits over his last 7.1 innings. The Tigers pitching staff is a disaster right now and I don’t want to back Berrios, so I will take the over here.
