MLB Premium Play 06/29: Detroit Tigers @ Tampa Bay Rays

MLB - 971 Detroit Tigers @ 972 Tampa Bay Rays

(Starting Pitchers: J. Verlander vs C. Archer)

Justin Verlander will start for Detroit tonight and his season isn't being very good, especially in comparison to his performances on the previous seasons. However, he faced four top offenses (Boston, Baltimore, Cleveland, Baltimore again) on his last five games, so his schedule isn't being easy at all. Tampa Bay's offense has been struggling as of late with just one game on his last ten where they hit better than .300 BA! With Evan Longoria out tonight, things will get even tougher for the Rays, so I expect Verlander to dominate in here.

The Rays will be starting Chris Archer tonight, who has been also having a tough schedule by facing the Yankees on the road, the Red Sox on the road, then Boston and Baltimore at home and Cleveland on the road! His problem have been the walks and of course, the high pitch counts. This will be very tough for him, as Detroit is a top team in both BB% and K%, so they will wait for Archer to make some errors and walk some batters. With Verlander dominating on the other side, I expect the Tigers to pick up an easy win in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 971 Detroit Tigers ML (w/ J. Verlander) @ -137 / 1.73 on Betonline
