Detroit moved to 2-7 after being swept by Boston. The Blue Jays have shown little resistance this month, and they’ll look to avoid a fifth straight loss here. The Detroit offense is scoring 3.02 runs per game, while batting .205, with a .261 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 6.84 ERA, with a 1.52 WHIP. Matt Vierling leads the team in batting average (286), after recording a hit in four straight games prior to yesterday.
Matt Manning will make the start for Detroit. The third-year pitcher held his own in his season debut versus Houston, only allowing two runs in nearly six innings of work.

Alek Manoah (1-0, 4.35 ERA, 8 Ks) will take the mound for Toronto. The third-year pitcher cleaned up a messy debut with seven shutout innings versus KC last week. Manoah posted a 7-4 record at Rogers Centre last season, with a 2.42 ERA.

Corey's Free Pick
The upside is limited in Detroit this season, and I think may have a tough time dealing with the firepower of the Toronto lineup. Throw in this spot marking Alek Manoah’s first home start of 2023, and you’ve got the ingredients for a Blue Jays win. Trust Toronto at home this Tuesday, and take their run line for this AL contest.
