MLB - Detroit Tigers at Boston Red Sox ESPN 12am

According to Jon Lester, "Verlander is Verlander. He's tough". You can't say fairer than that, although it's not the greatest baseball revelation of our times.

Verlander is 0.54/1.12 WHIP/ERA L3 and 3-2 with a 2.78 ERA lifetime against the Red Sox. This Boston lineup is hitting .209 against him.

Daniel Bard has made an unsteady move from the bullpen to the starting rotation and is walking far too many batters for his health; he has 28 strikeouts on the season ... and a terrifying 29 walks.

The price for Detroit is too short, and as this appears to be a favourable run line situation (although the price is still pretty skinny) I'll give the runs again.

Pick: Detroit Tigers -1.5 @ 21/20; 2.05; 105
