Trends
Chicago is 5-2 in their last 7 games and 2-6 in their last 8 Friday games. The under is 7-1 in Chicago’s last 8 games. Detroit is 15-4 in their last 19 games against the AL Central and 0-5 in their last 5 game two’s of a series. The over is 5-1-1 in Detroit’s last 7 Friday games. Chicago is 7-2 in these two teams last 9 head to head meetings in Detroit.
Pick
Detroit was able to get a nice win in the first game in this series and they are only two games behind the Twins for first place in the AL Central. The Tigers are starting Joey Wentz, who has been inconsistent this season. Wentz has allowed 16 earned runs over his last four starts (16.1 IP). Chicago is starting Lance Lynn, who has allowed three earned runs over his last 13 innings of work. Wentz got roughed up in his last outing and the Detroit offense has been much improved lately, so I like the over in this game.
