Free MLB Pick
The Angels won both games in 2015 versus the Tigers and 5 straight dating back to last season. The trend is also to the home team who has won 7 of the last 8 games in this series. Jared Weaver has been super-sharp in his last three games going 2-0 with a 0.86 WHIP and 2.14 ERA. He has had a lot of success against the Detroit roster holding them to a .232 batting average. Detroit starter Shane Green has been good in stretches but not too often on the road where he has one quality start in 5 attempts and carries into this game a 5.61 road ERA.
