Matthew Boyd takes the mound for the Tigers this evening. He has started 13 games this season and has a 4-4 record with a 3.23 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. Boyd has 59 strikeouts and 28 walks over 75.1 innings of work this season.

MLB Betting Trends
Detroit
The Tigers have won Boyd’s last four starts and they have won six of their last seven games after a day off. They also have won five straight against a right-handed starter.
Cincinnati
The Reds have lost four straight interleague home games and they are just 3-9 in their last 12 games following a win. They are also 11-29 in their last 40 home games.
Prediction:
The Tigers are on their best run of the season and they get to play another struggling team tonight. That should allow them to continue to win. Boyd has been rolling as well. I think he will be able to have a strong start against this Cincinnati lineup. Romano hasn’t looked good most of the year and I think the Tigers can manufacture some runs off him.
The Pick: Detroit Tigers +105
