🔥 Tigers (+108) vs Red Sox (-130) O/U 9.0

The Tigers are coming in with a 53-64 record and the Red Sox at 61-56. The Tigers' Eduardo Rodriguez is bringing a 2.75 ERA to the mound, while the Red Sox's Kutter Crawford is sporting a 3.80 ERA. With the Red Sox's stronger record and Crawford's higher ERA, this game is sure to be a nail-biter.

With the Reds at 61-57 and the Pirates at 52-64, this matchup is set to be a close one. The Reds' Brandon Williamson has a 4.54 ERA, while the Pirates' Mitch Keller has a 4.39 ERA. Given Keller's higher strikeout rate, this game could go either way.

The Athletics are coming in with a 33-84 record, while the Nationals are at 52-66. The Athletics' Ken Waldichuk has a 6.29 ERA, while the Nationals' Trevor Williams has a 5.00 ERA. With both teams having struggling pitchers, this game could be a high-scoring one.
