Detroit Tigers
Boyd was solid in his last outing as he was able to put in a quality start while picking up his seventh win of the season in a 4-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins.
He went six innings giving up just two hits and one earned run while he struck out three and walked one.
In 128.2 innings of work this season, Boyd owns a mediocre 7.97 K/9, a solid 2.87 BB/9, a solid 0.98 HR/9, and a bleak 69.0% LOB%.
The end-result is a moderate 4.20 ERA and an even better 3.92 FIP.

Free Detroit Tigers vs. Minnesota Twins MLB Prediction: Minnesota edges out Detroit at home
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Twins ML & OVER Total
Gibson has had a rougher time at home this season where he owns a 4.04 ERA and a slash line of .247/.324/.406, but he has been solid against righties owning a slash line of .213/.290/.377 which is what Detroit’s lineup mainly consists of.
Boyd has had his struggles on the road owning a 5.60 ERA, but is about to face the same Minnesota lineup again and this time on the road.
I’ll back the home team to edge out a Detroit team that owns a .634 OPS on the road as compared to a .709 OPS at home.
