The Tigers send out Anibal Sanchez in the opener of this series. He appeared to turn a corner on what’s been a disappointing season, but had a rough outing against the Chicago White Sox in his last turn.
Sanchez had won his last three starts prior to taking on the White Sox, against whom he surrendered four runs on six hits, walking two and striking out seven over seven innings of work. He was lucky to come away with a no-decision in a 5-4 Tigers win.

The Blue Jays counter with Drew Hutchison. He’s been hit or miss all season, and his home-road splits tell the tale of his year. When getting the ball at the Rogers Centre, he’s sporting a 2.12 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. When starting on the road, he’s posted an 8.92 ERA and 1.93 WHIP.
His last start came at home and was rock solid. He tossed 5 2/3 innings of four-hit ball, allowing only one unearned run, walking three and striking out eight in a 3-2 win. Hutchison picked up the victory, improving his record to 8-1 on the year.

FREE Blue Jays vs. Tigers Pick:
Neither pitcher figures to have much success against a pair of solid offenses, so the scoreboard operators figure to be busy on this night.
While the Tigers get the game at home, the Blue Jays have been red hot at the plate, so getting them at an underdog price is worth considering. With that said, the over is the play.
