On the season, the LAA bats play at a higher rate on the road where they post a 17-8 record with an average of 5.6 RPG to match a .275 BA/.341 OBP.

In that start, Trop posted a hard contact% of 22% (SA 42%) while seeing each of his pitches playing an uptick above season average. With a trustworthy 2.33 road era, this is a good spot to back Tropeano against a lineup with 5 combined ABs, all coming from Leonys Martin. The Tigers will send Michael Fulmer to the bump who has posted a 5.51 era over his last 18 IP where he allowed 12 hits on 17 Ks, 8 BBs and 2 HRs against the below-average offenses of the Twins and Mariners.

Fulmer experience a drop in aSLv below season average to 84 mph (SA 85.3) as well as a drop in aCHv from 89 mph in his previous start to 86.7 mph in his most recent outing. Going to fade this Tigers bullpen who has posted a 5.14 era over their L14 Days to match a horrific 2.11 K/BB ratio while having to use 5 arms in relief on Monday night.
