After almost going with a few different games today including the cardinals, white sox and padres I've finally decided on my game for today.
Scherzer is pitching for Detroit at home today, but he hasn't looked good in his last 3 starts. Over these starts he has allowed 21 ERs in 13 IP. That doesn't look good when he's about to face a Boston team that takes alot of pitches and really makes a pitcher earn it. Boston is coming off a day off and should be focused.
The only number that stands out that I don't like is Detroits home record of 12-4. I've decided it doesn't make a difference for this game though, because when Scherzer is the one doing the pitching the team is only 1-2. The lone win also came in a game where Scherzer allowed 6 ER over 3.2 IP, but the offense bailed him out.
Boston -124
