The Detroit Tigers have dropped five on the bounce and 21 of their last 24 games, and a big reason for the slide has been poor performances from their pitching staff. I don't see that changing tonight as they hand the ball to Daniel Norris (2-8, 5.14 ERA) who has posted a 5.98 ERA over his last seven starts. The 26 year-old southpaw has surrendered 11 runs in his last two starts alone ...

The Jays counter with rookie right-hander Trent Thornton (3-7, 5.25 ERA) who conceded five runs in just 1 1/3 innings of a 10-8 loss at Boston his last start, the third time in his last four starts he gave up five or more runs.

Over is 5-1 in Tigers last 6 overall. Over is 5-1 in Thornton's last 6 starts overall. Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings at Comerica Park.

8* play on OVER.
