For as shaky as Jack Flaherty has been this season (and last), Sonny Gray is also starting to show signs of decline. While last season's 4.28 ERA was likely inflated due to some bad BABIP luck and wonky defense, this year, Gray's peripherals are actually worse than his 4.43 ERA. The Red Sox are among the most disappointing teams in baseball, and I like Detroit to win on the road.

Slade Cecconi will have to face Yordan Alvarez at least a couple of times here, by which point, we could already clear this total. The Astros are a mess. Despite scoring an MLB-best 121 runs, they've allowed an MLB-worst 140. I like Spencer Arrighetti a bit, but the 10 strikeouts he registered in his season debut came against the K-prone Rockies. The Guardians will have better results against him, and the Over is an easy pick.
