The Boston Red Sox have been using Fenway Park to their advantage of late and will look to notch their seventh win in the last eight home appearances vs the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. Sportsbooks opened the Tigers as +148 underdogs with a total of 10.5.
Daniel Norris and Drew Pomeranz will get the start for the Tigers and BoSox, respectively. Norris (2-4, 4.48 ERA) saw his winless drought reach six starts after allowing four runs over six innings in a home setback to the Los Angeles Angels in his last outing. The hurler made his season debut against Boston on April 9 but did not factor into the decision after allowing three runs and seven hits over 6 1/3 frames.
Pomeranz (6-3, 4.02) has won his last three starts after collecting the W against the New York Yankees in his last outing. He has struck out 19 and gave up a combined three runs over 13 frames in victory vs the White Sox and Texas in his previous two turns. Pomeranz is 2-3 with a 4.24 ERA in seven career games against Detroit.
The UNDER is trending when the Red Sox play at home. In Boston’s last six at Fenway, the UNDER is 5-1.
