Detroit Tigers vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

The Tigers are putting together a strong week, but I’m leaning toward the over in this spot. Flaherty has been up and down this season overall and in 43 road innings he has a 6.28 ERA and .282 allowed batting average. While Suarez has been sharp in his own right, he has a 4.15 ERA and .276 allowed batting average in 39 home innings. Suarez has allowed 16 hits and seven runs in his last 10 innings overall. I expect some runs in this spot given the splits of both pitchers. Give me the over.
