### Why This Parlay?
1. Detroit Tigers -1.5 Run Spread (1.83 at BetRivers)
- The Tigers are a 69.5% favorite when favored this season, and Tarik Skubal’s elite 2.15 ERA and 138 strikeouts over 109 innings make him a trustworthy arm.
- Cleveland’s offense (15th in MLB in runs scored) struggles against top-tier pitching, and Skubal’s dominance (10 wins, tied for MLB lead) gives Detroit a strong edge to cover the spread.

2. Over 7.5 Runs (2.05 at BetOnline.ag)
- Detroit’s offense is 5th in MLB in runs scored, and Riley Greene’s breakout form (strong vs. right-handed pitching) and the Tigers’ high-powered lineup (Gleyber Torres, Spencer Torkelson) suggest they’ll push runs.
- Cleveland’s Gavin Williams (3.86 ERA) is vulnerable to a potent offense, and the Tigers’ 69.5% win rate when favored implies they’ll score enough to hit the over.

### Implied Probability & Value

- Over 7.5: ~51% (Tigers’ high-scoring offense vs. Guardians’ weak pitching).
