Detroit was swept by the White Sox and will send Beau Brieske to the mound against Texas. Perez is 4-2 this season with a 2.18 ERA. Brieske is 1-5 with a 4.34 ERA. Detroit jas lost four in a row while Texas has gone 7-1 in Martin Perez's last eight starts. Perez will be facing the worst-hitting team in the league that is putting up 2.8 runs a game. Brieske will be facing a Texas lineup that struggled early but has started to hit the ball a lot better. Brieske has had a couple of decent outings in his last two starts but Perez has been good all season.

Play on Texas. This is a 7* play.
