After a rocky start to the season at the plate, the Detroit Tigers enter Sunday’s clash with the Indians as the top offense in MLB since the beginning of July, and they get to face rookie Eli Morgan.
Morgan has surrendered at least three runs in seven of his eight starts and has allowed 12 home runs in 37 ¹/₃ innings. That includes seven home runs in 16¹/₃ innings in four home starts, with an 8.82 home ERA.
Tigers starter Tyler Alexander began the season in the bullpen, but recently got moved to the rotation. Detroit is 5-1 in his six starts, and he has allowed two runs or fewer in five of them.
The Tigers entered the series averaging 5.2 runs per game since July began, up from 3.9 runs per game previously. The Indians have the third-worst ERA in the AL since the beginning of July (5.14).
The Indians are allowing an AL-worst 1.8 home runs per nine innings since the beginning of July and Detroit enters the series 6-3 in their past nine games, so the Tigers will continue their winning ways.
The play: Tigers, +105.
