The projected starter for Toronto is Ross Stripling, who is 2-1 with a 3.65 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP over 37 innings pitched this season.
The Detroit Tigers are 24-34 this season and have won three of their last four games. Detroit won Game 2 of this series by a score of 3-1 on Saturday afternoon. The Detroit pitching staff has a 3.67 ERA, a 1.18 WHIP, and a .229 opponent batting average.

The projected starter for Detroit is Tarik Skubal, who is 5-2 with a 2.33 ERA and a 0.94 WHIP over 65.2 innings pitched this season.
Toronto is 8-2 in their last 10 road games and 12-4 in their last 16 games. The over is 13-4 in Toronto’s last 17 games. Detroit is 1-6 in their last 7 games against the AL East and 10-3 in their last 13 home games. The under is 35-15-1 in Detroit’s last 51 Sunday games. The under is 8-1 in these two teams last 9 head to head meetings.
Tarik Skubal has been very good for the Tigers this season and has been one of their best players so far this season. Skubal has allowed a total of six runs over his last five starts (32 innings) and Detroit is 4-1 in his last five starts. For the Blue Jays, Stripling has worked mainly out of the bullpen recently, but did go five shutout innings against the Royals in his last start. With Detroit having all kinds of trouble hitting the ball and Skubal on the mound, I like the under here.
