LA Angels vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

I'm not trying to pick a side in this matchup because I don't trust either Johnny Cueto or Brant Hurter. Cueto is old and washed up, and it's surprising he's still pitching. Hurter only has a couple of MLB starts, and he's been up and down through 17.2 innings. The Tigers have found offensive success as of late, and that should continue against Cueto. I expect some runs in this spot. Give me the over on Tuesday evening in Detroit.
