Let’s break down our experts’ best bets and why they predict Boston can dominate on Tuesday night.
The Detroit Tigers will try to bounce back from their series-opening loss on Monday night, but it may be difficult to do so.
The Tigers’ Beau Brieske will start tonight, and he has allowed zero runs in his last two starts over 12.2 innings of work.
After a slow start for the right-hander, he’s settled down and given some consistency to the Detroit rotation.
He will go up against Boston’s Rich Hill, who carries a 4.42 ERA and allowed three earned runs to the Athletics in his last outing.
