Point Spread: -1½/+150 Detroit

Sportsbook: DSI

Result: Loss

*3 Star MLB Run Line Value* The Boston Red Sox had an epic collapse at the end of last year, while the Detroit Tigers were red hot at the end of the regular season. Justin Verlander won the AL Cy Young and MVP awards. He was 24-5 and had a dazzling 2.40 ERA. The Tigers are a stunning 40-11 in Verlander's last 51 home starts. I really like this Detroit lineup. Boesch is better than people realize, then you have Cabrera and Fielder. This middle of the order is downright nasty. Boston started slow last year, and I don't like their team chemistry. Detroit should prove a point here behind a dominant Verlander. Take Detroit -1.5.
