This is a 1* Free Play on the Detroit Tigers.

I think the Tigers are worth the price of admission in their first game back from the All-Star break. The visiting Cleveland Indians turn to Trevor Bauer (3-4, 3.84 ERA) who is coming off his best start of the season; the right-hander pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings and struck out a career-high ten on Sunday against the Chicago White Sox, but did not get a decision in the 3-2 victory. Bauer is 1-0 with a 4.38 ERA in two starts against Detroit, both this season. The Tigers will respond with starter Anibal Sanchez (6-3, 3.04 ERA); the right-hander is 4-2 with a 2.34 ERA in eight lifetime meetings against Cleveland and is 2-1 with a 2.28 ERA in his last four in Detroit. Note that the Tigers are 12-8 in games versus Cleveland in the Motor City the past three seasons. And note Detroit has been riding the hot hitting of J.D Martinez the past few weeks, the slugger already has seven multi-hit games in July and is batting nearly .346 on the season with 43 RBIs. Detroit won five of six going into the break and I think it carries the momentum over to start the second half; consider a look at the home side.
