Stephen Nover's Big Monday Crusher - 9-1 Last 10!
(MLB) Detroit vs. NY Yankees, 08/04/2014 3:05 PM, Score: 1 - 2
Money Line: -116.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Loss
Detroit is swinging hot bats and have reigning Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer in good form. That's enough to offset this short road price. Detroit is 15-7 the past 22 times Scherzer has been road chalk.

Scherzer is 5-0 with a 2.08 ERA and 56 strikeouts in 47 2/3 innings over his last seven starts He is 6-1 with a 3.12 ERA in seven starts against New York.

Brandon McCarthy has pitched well since joining the Yankees, but he's a bottom of the rotation starter not close to being in Scherzer's class. He was not sharp in his last start against the Rangers, a much worse hitting team than Detroit.

The Yankees are just 8-26 the past 34 times when priced in the plus $1.10 to plus $1.50 range.
