This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the OVER Rays/Tigers.

Tampa last two of three to Toronto earlier in the week, but it rebounded to win the finale by a score of 3-2, followed by the 6-2 series opening victory here yesterday.

With the setback, the Tigers have now seen the total go UNDER in nine straight. They've also lost five of their last six and two in a row.

Bryan Garcia gets the call for Detroit. He made his season debut in Toronto last week, allowing two runs off three hits over three innings in what turned out to be a no-decision. That moves his career ERA to 6.06.

The visitors counter with Corey Kluber, who is 7-6 with a 4.03 ERA, who has conceded four earned runs in each of his past three trips to the hill.

Neither team has been playing to many high-scoring games of late, but the conditions are now right for a bit of a "SLUG-FEST" on Friday night.

This number is low, the play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
