Detroit is trying to build some momentum heading into the postseason, but they have allowed 17 runs in their last two games and just lost Skubal to injury. The Tigers are 38-35 on the road this year, while the Marlins are 35-41 at home. Miami has scored 21 runs in their last three games and they are facing Morton, who has allowed 3, 6, and 5 earned runs in his last three starts. Detroit is going against Junk, who has allowed at least three earned runs in five straight outings. Both of these starters are below average in my opinion and Miami has been an over machine lately. Take the over here.
