T.M. Selection: Tigers (+1.5) 8* MONEY-MAKER).

The Tigers won their opening series, but they came out flat and fell 15-6 in yesterday's series opener with the Twins. Suffice it to say, I think the home side will put up a much better effort here this afternoon. Casey Mize was 0-3 with a 6.99 ERA last year, but the second-year pro is coming off a decent Spring: "He's made a lot of major league hitters look bad this spring," manager A.J. Hinch said. "There's going to be some growing pains, and if we expect him to be perfect, then we're setting him up for failure. So, the growth that needs to happen is going to have to happen at the big leagues." JA Happ gets the nod for the visitors. He's 3-2 with a 5.14 ERA in 12 career starts vs. the Tigers. This one is going to come down to the wire, so I'm grabbing the 1.5 runs!

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Detroit.
