No question the Tigers come into this series with Texas highly motivated after getting swept in 4 games by the lowly Cleveland Indians last series. Detroit returns home where they have been one of the best home teams in the business, going 32-13 while hitting .286 and scoring 5.1 RPG. Starter Jeremy Bonderman has pitched his best at home this year as well, going 3-3 with a 3.71 ERA and 1.137 WHIP in 8 home starts.

Tigers hitters are licking their chops at the chance to face Scott Feldman, who is 5-8 with a 5.32 ERA and 1.597 WHIP this season. Feldman is 3-5 with a 5.94 ERA and 1.600 WHIP in 8 road starts this year as well. This is also one team that Feldman does not enjoy facing. Feldman is 0-2 with a 9.75 ERA and 2.750 WHIP in 3 career starts vs. Detroit, allowing 17 runs, 13 earned, along with 33 base runners in 12 innings. That’s an average of nearly 3 base runners per innings. Detroit is 16-3 against the money line in home games off a loss to a division rival as a favorite over the last 2 seasons. Take the Tigers Monday.
