I'm playing DETROIT on the run-line (+1.5 runs) I like and expect the Tigers to win this one outright. However, in what could be a close game, I'm happy to grab the extra +1.5 runs. Boyd has a stellar 2.49 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in four daytime starts this season. Opposing batters are hitting a mere .187 against him in those games. Mengden, on the other hand, has only made one 2019 start and he's got a poor 6.75 ERA to show from it. Note that Mengden's lone career start vs. the Tigers resulted in a 1-run win. Overall, the A's are 7-10 in day games while the Tigers are 13-9 (+7.3). Expect AT LEAST a 'run-line cover' for the Tigers in this one.
