BLUE JAYS/TIGERS Under 9.5 ?120 - Yes, these clubs have averaged a combined 9.50 runs per game in their four head-to-head meetings so far this season. However, the Tigers have done most of their damage vs. right-handed pitching, as they are batting a modest .255 against southpaws, as opposed to a whopping .303 vs. right-handers. Lilly exploited this weakness the last time he pitched here in Detroit, as he held the Tigers to 1 run and 3 hits in 7.1 innings, his second consecutive Quality Start vs. Detroit. As for the Jays, they are facing a pitcher in Robertson that they have never seen before, which is generally an advantage for the pitcher. Also, Toronto is hitting just .225 as a team vs. right-handers this young season, and like most pitchers, Robertson was much more effective in this spacious park last season than he was on the road.
