Tampa Bay Rays vs. Detroit Tigers

Quick read:

Put your money on Detroit to pull the rug out from under Tampa Bay – the Tigers' offense is a well‑oiled machine while the Rays' staff looks about as reliable as a paper umbrella.

Detroit has piled up 588 runs while surrendering just 518, a healthier differential than Tampa Bay's 591 for 544, and they've collected 1,065 hits and 154 homers to keep any bullpen on its heels.

The only hitch is the Rays' lineup still has enough pop to surprise, so if the line drifts too far you might want to hedge before kickoff – otherwise, it’s a tasty underdog bite.
