Pick
Detroit is coming off of a nice win on Saturday and they have out scored their opponents by a total of 26-12 in their last five Games. The Red Sox are 34-28 at home and they have allowed three runs or fewer in four of their last six Games. Detroit is starting Eduardo Rodriguez, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Boston is starting Kutter Crawford, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in three of his last five starts. Rodriguez has been very good for the Tigers this year, but I am taking the Red Sox in this Game. This is a big Game for Boston and their lineup is much better than Detroit’s. Take Boston to get the win.
