games in a row, including a 6-1 victory over Boston as +126 road underdogs Saturday, while going UNDER the betting total in four of those affairs.\u00a0 Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez has hit safely in 18 of his last 19 contests, while first baseman Miguel Cabrera is batting .400 with 12 RBIs over the course of an eight-game hitting streak.\u00a0 Detroit is 2-1 as road underdogs of +100 to +125, with the UNDER going 2-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #232323\">Tigers starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez (0-2, 3.13 ERA) will make his first trip to the mound since April 26, while he hasn\u2019t allowed a home run in 23 combined frames this season.\u00a0 The right-hander has yet to earn a decision in two road efforts, with opposing hitters batting .222 against him (.164 at home).\u00a0 Sanchez allowed seven runs and eight hits in 4.1 innings of work in his only regular season appearance against the Red Sox in his career.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #232323\">Boston has scored just four runs in dropping its last three affairs, with each of those going UNDER the betting total.\u00a0 Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz is hitting .475 with eight RBIs during a nine-game hitting streak, while he\u2019s put together a .368 average over his last 28 meetings in this series.\u00a0 The franchise is 3-7 at home with a money line of -100 to -125 this season, with the OVER going 6-4 in that situation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #232323\">Red Sox starting pitcher Jake Peavy (1-1, 3.94 ERA) has watched the club alternated wins and losses over his last four trips to the mound, but he didn\u2019t earn a decision in a 8-6 setback on the road to the Minnesota Twins last time out.\u00a0 The right-hander is 0-1 with a 3.82 ERA in five home outings\u2014serving up five home runs in 30.2 combined frames.\u00a0 In 12 lifetime starts versus the Tigers, Peavy has compiled a 4-5 record and 4.83 ERA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #232323\">Sports bettors will likely back the Tigers due to their 8-1 record on the road with a total of 8 to 8.5.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #232323\">Make sure to check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madduxsports.com\/baseball-picks.html\">Major
