This is a ridiculously early game that should favor the Red Sox at home. Gray has also been the sharper pitcher at times over Flaherty. However, we’re getting plus money with the Tigers, who have played better ball over the last week. Gray has been hittable this season through 20.1 innings. Flaherty is also capable of pitching much better than what he’s shown lately. The value is simply with the Tigers and the more favorable price, as they’re simply playing better baseball. Give me the Tigers.
