Detroit has now won three in a row and is 8-2 in its last 10 games.

Framber Valdez threw seven shutout frames in Seattle in his last start. He’s allowed a total of five runs (four earned) on 18 hits in 19 innings since the Cubs tagged him for six runs in just two-thirds of an inning out of the All-Star break.

I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:

The Tigers have been on a roll despite trading away a few key pieces at the deadline. They’re 8-2 in their last 10 games, including a 6-4 win to open their series against Cleveland last night.

The Guardians have now lost three in a row and six of their last seven games to fall behind Detroit in the AL Central.
