It's hard to bet against lefty Chris Sale honestly, just the way the sucker throws he's due any given game to be spectacular. But his Away Dog numbers talk otherwise. In his last "AD" start he gave up 5 runs within the first four innings alone with two home runs on nine hits. Sox are 2-6 straight up in Sales last 8 "AD" starts, failing to cover the "RL" everysingle time beside once, in the games they lost. We have value here. Detroit is #1 in the league in batting avg vs lefty's this season, 3rd in runs vs L, 5 in hits v L all this season as well. DET 17-8 SU as home favorites vs lefty's this season. Let's talk Verlander. Det is 12-3 (L15) when Verlander is on the mound - and DET is under -130 home favorites.
Tigers still fighting to win division. Value is in the RL, safe bet ML
