MLB Odds: Blue Jays Welcome Tigers to Town

The Toronto Blue Jays have found their stride of late and have gone 7-3 over their last 10 games. With the Detroit Tigers making a stop in TO for a four-game series starting this Friday, the Blue Jays will need to take advantage of the struggling Tigers to continue their season turn-around.


Marcus Stroman (0-5) is expected to get the ball for the Jays in the series opener against the Tigers. 2018 has been a season to forget so far for Stroman. He’s dealt with shoulder fatigue since the outset of the regular season and struggled to find consistency in just eight games started. Stro returned from the DL to face the Angels last Saturday and looked great, not allowing a run over five innings, and striking out five. Like the rest of the Jays, the fiery starter will look to continue his season rebound this Friday against Detroit.

The Detroit Tigers are mired in a seven-game losing streak, and at 18 games below .500, Detroit’s season may well be done. They’ll counter on Friday with former Jay Francisco Liriano. The lefty has struggled this season along with the rest of the team, so Toronto will have a real opportunity to capitalize at home.

MLB Odds: Stroman Starts against Detroit

This Friday, the Toronto Blue Jays and Detroit Tigers open up a four-game series at the Rogers Centre. Marcus Stroman (0-5) is expected to be on the mound for the Jays. Following his return from a stint on the DL, Stroman looked solid against the Angels, going five innings of scoreless ball. He’ll look to build on that performance against the lowly Tigers.

Detroit is in the midst of a seven-game losing streak and are without key contributors due to injury, including Miguel Cabrera, who is lost for the season following biceps surgery. The Tigers will attempt to expose Toronto’s shoddy pitching, however, so anything can happen. Be sure to tune in.
