#970 ASA PLAY ON 8* Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 on the Run Line (-135) over Detroit Tigers, Tuesday at 7:07 PM ET - The Tigers have lost 7 of 9 games this season.  In those 7 losses Detroit has scored an average of only 2 runs per game!  All 7 defeats were by at least a 3 run margin.  Detroit just does not have the lineup to keep up with the high-powered Jays here.  That is why we like this run line play with action on the pitchers but we will mention that the projected pitching match-up of Alek Manoah versus Matt Manning certainly does give the Blue Jays a starting pitching edge here. The Tigers have given up 7 runs per game so they have some bullpen issues too as you can see with that number.  The big problem here for Detroit is an inability to score enough to keep up with the high-powered Jays.  Toronto has won 5 of 6 games and scored an average of 6 runs per game during that stretch and now this is their home opener.  They should tee off on Manning as he was 1-4 with 6.63 ERA on the road in 2021 and had a 4.94 ERA in his 2022 road starts.  This is his first road start this season while Manoah will be happy to be at home where he is 12-4 with a 2.39 ERA in his first two seasons.  He also is coming off a start on the road last week in which he allowed 0 runs and just 1 hit in 7 innings.  Regardless of the starting pitchers we have the much stronger team in their home opener and this match-up has dominance written all over it!  We think we're getting some nice value laying -1.5 in this one laying a moderate, but not huge, price with the Blue Jays. Lay the 1.5 runs here!
