(MLB) Detroit vs. Toronto,
Money Line: -148.00 Toronto (Home)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -148.00 Toronto (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: Detroit bounced back on Sunday to win 9-1, but I think the home side will find a way to get get the job done in the finale of this series on Monday afternoon. The visitors go with Mike Fiers, while the home side goes with Ryan Borucki.
The pitchers: Fiers is so far 5-5 with a 4.04 ERA. He most recently allowed one run off five hits with a walk while striking out five over seven innings in a 3-0 loss to the A's on Wednesday. Fiers has been hit or miss this year, usually misfiring on the road with a 2-3, 5.15 ERA record to this point.
Borucki is so far 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA. Borucki comes in off a loss in his major-league debut against the Astros, allowing only two runs off six hits while striking out three over six innings. Borucki will look to make the most of his time until others return to the rotation.
The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Detroit is just 2-7 in its last nine after scoring nine or more runs in its previous outing, while Toronto is 6-3 in its last nine after allowing nine or more runs in its previous game. I like the Jays to bounce back at home and for Borucki to out duel Fiers. Play on Toronto.
