MLB odds: Current baseball betting lines
The Tigers (28-22) have lost five of their last seven games overall to fall 2.5 games behind Kansas City in the AL Central and 1.5 games behind second-place Minnesota.
Through the first five games of a current seven-game road trip, they’ve scored just six runs and batted .181.
After a miserable beginning to 2015, where he was 0-4 with a 6.29 ERA in his first six starts, Weaver has elevated his game to the level we’ve been accustomed to over the years by going 3-0 with a 1.50 ERA in his last four starts. The Angels have won all four games. He’s 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA in his last two starts against the Tigers, but hasn’t faced them since 2010. Since 2009, Weaver is 52-20 at home with a 2.39 ERA in 97 home starts.
We’re looking for the Tigers’ hitting woes to continue and siding with both the Angels to win and UNDER 8 runs (-125). The Angels have stayed UNDER in nine of their past 12 home games, and Detroit has stayed UNDER in five of its last seven.
