Money Line: -118.00 Detroit (Home)
Result: Win
Play: Detroit Tigers
Rating: 8*

I like the red hot Detroit Tigers with the equally hot Justin Verlander (11-6, 3.54) on the mound. Verlander fanned a season-high 11 batters while recording his first nine-inning complete game of the year when he held the Astros to pair of runs on five hits his last time out. The Mets' Noah Syndergaard (9-5, 2.48 ERA) is winless in his last five starts and he's strugglnd with his command in recent outings. The Mets are off a 4-1 win in the Bronx on Thursday, but they're 1-10 in their last 11 games following a win. That's a trend likely to continue as they'll face a Detroit team that has won eight of its last nine overall.
