He has not allowed any runs on 5 hits with 1 walk and 4 strikeouts in 5 innings against the Red Sox in his career. He has been credited with the win.
BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Detroit's last 6 games.
Detroit are 2-8 SU in their last 10 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Boston's last 8 games against Detroit.
Boston are 7-2 SU in their last 9 games at home.
Prediction
The Tigers continue to lose games as they're 2-8 in their last 10 games and 1-4 against the Red Sox this season. Skubal will take the mound and although he has struggled lately he dominated the Red Sox last season. Michael Wacha will start for the Red Sox and he has also dominated the Tigers in his career. This should be a great pitching duel so expect a low scoring game. Take the under.
PICK: Under 8.5 (-110)
