The Tigers continued their winning streak on Friday night with a come from behind win after falling down 2-0 in the first inning. Detroit has played a lot better in the last few weeks and is starting Garrett Hill in this game. Hill has one start this season and he threw six innings and allowed one run against Cleveland. For Chicago, Johnny Cueto has allowed three runs or fewer in each of his last four starts. It is tough to go against Detroit right now, so I am taking the under in this game.
