The Tigers have rattled off 8 wins in their last 9 games and that includes two in a row on the road in Boston. Detroit's bats have been underwhelming against righties, but Boston's have been worse in that department and now Boston gets Jack Flaherty, who was great over his last two starts (Royals and Twins). Sonny Gray has been average to start the season and got rocked by the Twins last time out. We've got an edge with the bats and the pitching matchup and a good plus money price for the road team.
