The Tigers have won 13 of their last 15 interleague home games and the Dodgers have won 9 of 10 on the road against teams from the American League.
Hyun-jin Ryu (9-4, 3.08 ERA) gets the starts for the Dodgers tonight and in his last outing he was solid only giving up 2 earned runs in 7 innings of work, but still took a no decision facing the Cleveland Indians.
Justin Verlander (7-7 4.71 ERA) goes for the Tigers and in his last start he gave up 3 earned runs in 6 innings in a win over the Oakland A’s.
Ryu is 6-1 with a 1.62 ERA in 8 road starts this season.
The Dodgers are 6-2 in Ryu’s last 8 starts as a road underdog.
While Verlander is not having one of his Cy Young seasons, with his 2nd highest ERA since his first full season in the Majors in 2006 he has been pitching well as of late. On top of that he has won 13 straight starts against NL teams.
The Tigers are 65-30 in Verlander’s last 95 home starts.
