MLB Betting Trends

Detroit

The Tigers are 31-72 in their last 103 road games. Detroit is 5-21 in the last 26 Norris starts.

Los Angeles

The Angels are 6-1 in their last seven Wednesday games. Los Angeles is 36-16 in the last 52 meetings.

Prediction: 

Suarez is young and raw, but full of potential as his high strikeout rate suggests. He should fare well against a lackluster Tigers lineup, especially when he should get plenty of run support with Mike Trout and the Angels hitters facing the inconsistent Norris and a weak bullpen. This one has all the writings of another LA victory and if you want to test the runline, feel free to do so.
