Tigers Favored for Game 2 as Valdez Faces Red Sox First-Time Starter Moran

Tarik Skubal's elbow surgery leaves Detroit short in the rotation.

Overview

  • Boston leads the series 1-0 after Monday's 5-4 win at Comerica Park.
  • The matchup features Boston's first-time starter Jovani Moran against Detroit lefty Framber Valdez.
  • Sportsbooks price Detroit at -186 on the money line with a total of 8 runs.
  • SportsLine's model, which simulates games 10,000 times, projects the game to go over 8 runs.
  • Skubal's absence strains Detroit's staff, and limited length from Moran points to heavier bullpen use for both clubs.
