Tigers at Indians Over 10
And the winner for worst starting pitcher in the American League through five starts is … Detroit’s Matthew Boyd.
Boyd is 0-for-5 in quality starts this season. He has a 9.64 ERA, which goes up to 11.48 if you count just his last three starts.
The Indians are way overdue to get their offense in gear especially Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez.
The Tigers should enter this matchup loose and feeling good after halting a humiliating 20-game losing streak to the Indians. Detroit accomplished that with a 10-5 win Friday. Now the Tigers draw Triston McKenzie, who will be making his big league debut. He’s never pitched above Double A.
David Rackley is slated to be the home plate umpire. That’s a major plus for the Over as in the last four years the Over is 57-32 for 64 percent in games Rackley has been behind the plate.
