Detroit has won their last 6 games and has the best record in the league. They are in the top 5 in scoring and runs allowed and just dominated Boston over the weekend giving up only 4 runs over the three game road sweep.
The Indians are hot winners of 9-1, but they have not been able to gain any ground in the AL Central, as the Tigers have also won 9 of their last 10 games.
The Indians are riding a 5-game win streak, which is the longest in the Majors, and with their solid play they are in first place in the AL Central 2.5 games ahead of the Tigers. MLB lines have the Tigers as the road favorite tonight with a total of 8.5 runs.
The Tigers won yesterday’s game against the Indians and with their recent good play, being 8-2 in their last 10 games, they are now tied with the White Sox for the lead in the AL Central. The Indians are slumping losers of 6 of their last 10 games and they are 4 games back of the Tigers and White Sox.
The 2012 MLB regular season has been a bit unpredictable so far with teams like Baltimore and Cleveland leading their respective division, while teams such as Philadelphia, Boston, and the Los Angeles Angels are bringing up the rear in theirs.
Detroit has done seemingly everything in its power to let Minnesota & Chicago back into the AL Central race. However, the Tigers pulled out a crucial game on Sunday against the Twins to keep their lead at 3-games in the standings. Was that victory just a temporary stoppage of the bleeding, or is Detroit ready to assume command again and start a strong season ending run before the MLB playoffs? We could find out tonight when they visit slumping Cleveland on Tuesday night.
The number three has a hold on all of us. Baseball’s inherent beauty is all about threes: three strikes to an out, three outs to an inning, three groups of three innings to a game. That’s why we’re sticking with the format as we present the three best series and the three best single games to bet on this week.
