We're forecasting the Toronto Blue Jays to play their fifth straight Under tonight when they take on the history-making Detroit Tigers.
The Tigers third straight loss to the Royals last night was their 111th overall for the season which is the most in the majors since the 1965 New York Mets. They need to win at least five of their remaining 13 games to avoid the record of 120 losses held by the 1962 Mets.
Detroit are hitting just .197 their last ten games against right-handed starters and have scored a total of just 24 runs.
Tigers starter Nate Cornejo is just 6-15 this season but his ERA is a little more respectable at 4.46 and that improves to just 2.55 his last three outings. He completely shut down these Blue Jays on September 6 when he pitched a complete game, allowing just five hits and zero earned runs. Of course even that wasn't good enough to get a W as Roy Halladay and the Blue Jays won 1-0. The total runs scored in Cornejo's last eight games are just 7,1, 7, 9, 6, 4, 7 and 9 respectively.
Toronto are 76-73 (.510) this season including 36-38 (.486) on the road. Tonight they give the ball to Pete Walker who has five starts amongst 20 appearances this season. He is 1-0 lifetime when starting against the Tigers with an ERA of 1.29.
These teams have clashed 18 times in the past three seasons and the Under is 13-5 in these contests including 7-2 in games played at Detroit. It's also worth noting that the Under has cashed in 15 of the 19 Tigers home games this season when the total has been set at 9 or 9.5.
We're expecting the Blue Jays to score 3-5 runs tonight and the Tigers to score 2-4 and recommend the Under.
Recommended Play: Under 9 +100
Good luck
