Of the 30 MLB teams, the Detroit Tigers had the best final 10 games going into the All-Star Break of any team at 8-2 and look to keep the momentum going on Saturday when they play the Toronto Blue Jays on the road.
Detroit Tigers vs. Toronto Blue Jays (-142, 8)
Getting the pitching start for the Tigers is Reese Olson, who has pitched far better than his 4-8 record would indicate, posting a 3.30 ERA with three earned runs or fewer in each of his past five starts.
Olson also has avoided the big mistakes, allowing only 0.5 home runs per nine innings and has a 3.08 fielding independent.
The Blue Jays offense has struggled all season, ranking last in the American League in home runs at home and their 3.9 runs per game at home ranking 27th out of the 30 MLB teams.
Getting the start on the mound for the Blue Jays is Yusei Kikuchi, who has the same 4-8 record as Ilson, but with far worse supporting number, posting a 4.42 ERA with 1.4 home runs per nine innings allowed.
The Blue Jays back up Kikuchi with a bullpen that has the worst fielding independent in the league and entered the series with a 4.91 ERA, the second-worst bullpen ERA in the league.
With the Tigers bullpen ERA 19th in the league entering the series and entering the series averaging six runs per game in their first 11 games in July, the Tigers will stay hot and win on Saturday.
The Play: Tigers +120
