ASA MLB 2-GAME PACKAGE
(MLB) Cleveland vs. Detroit,
Total: 8.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
#961/962 ASA PLAY ON Over 8 Runs - Detroit Tigers vs Cleveland Guardians, Thursday at 1 PM ET - The Tigers are starting Jack Flaherty and he has back issues which he got injections for. That is why this is his first start in a couple weeks and he allowed 3 homers in his most recent start. The Guardians are starting Spencer Howard and he gave up 6 earned runs in less than 3 innings in his most recent outing which was out of the bullpen. As for his most recent action as a starter, Howard allowed 4 earned runs on 7 hits and 4 walks in only 2.1 innings. Neither starter can be relied upon for much here the way we see it in this one. Adding to the challenge is the fact the Tigers have scored at least 5 runs in 8 of last 10 games that went at least 9 innings (they had a recent 7-inning game versus the Twins). The Guardians 10 of last 12 games have totaled at least 8 runs. 9 of those 10 that did all reached a total of 9 or more runs. We like the way both teams have been swinging the bats and we have a warm afternoon game in Detroit with a couple of starting pitchers that each have reasons to doubt their effectiveness here. We make the most of this low total. Over is the call in this one early Thursday afternoon.
