This is also a wager on Keider Montero, who takes the ball for the Tigers and has looked terrific in a small sample size this season despite shifting between the starting rotation, the bullpen, and Triple-A. Detroit has won each of Montero’s five outings, and he’s posted a 0.96 ERA in that span. On the flip side, Texas Rangers starter Kumar Rocker is another factor in picking the Tigers in this spot. Rocker drags a 6.29 ERA into this matchup, and he coughed up six runs, including three homers, in 4.1 innings against the Los Angeles Angels last week. Texas has only covered the Run Line in 24 of its last 50 games, and that spells trouble against a Detroit lineup that’s averaging 4.92 RPG and ranks in the Top 10 in the big leagues in OBP and OPS. I’ll take this price for the Tigers to rediscover their roar tonight.
