The Detroit Tigers will play the Miami Marlins in Game 1 of their series on Friday night at loanDepot park in Miami, Florida. Detroit has shown some positive signs this season, but they are fading in the AL Central race. Miami has won two of their last three Games, but they have really struggled over the last few weeks and they are slipping down the standings in the NL Wild Card race.

The Detroit pitching staff has a 4.49 ERA, a 1.25 WHIP, and a .244 opponent batting average this season.

Pick

The Marlins come into this matchup desperately looking for a series win, as they are in a very tight race for a NL Wild Card spot. Detroit played well in their first couple of series after the All-Star break, but they were just swept by the Angels at home. Detroit is starting Reese Olson, who has allowed eight earned runs over his last 12.1 innings of work. Miami is starting Braxton Garrett, who has allowed 10 earned runs over his last two starts (7.2 IP). Garrett has been sharp for Miami for most of the season, but has really struggled in his last two starts. On the flip side, Reese Olson has bounced between the rotation and bullpen, but just allowed five earned runs to San Diego last time out. These two offenses are towards the bottom of the MLB and even though the pitchers have had some issues recently, I am still going with the under here.

Mass grave of plague victims may be largest ever found in Europe, archaeologists say

Image
Plague pits containing the remains of at least 1,000 victims have been unearthed in southern Germany. The pits could together form the largest mass grave ever discovered in Europe, archaeologists say. The excavations, which were carried out ahead of construction work in the city of Nuremberg, revealed eight pits each crammed with hundreds of skeletons belonging to adults, children and babies that date to between the late 15th and early 17th centuries. Archaeologists also found pottery shards and silver coins in two of the three pits they have finished excavating. Radiocarbon dating revealed the pottery coincides with plague outbreaks that occurred between 1622 and 1634, while the coins date to around 1619, according to a statement released by the archaeological excavation company In Terra Veritas. "A discovery like that has never happened before and quite honestly, no one had thought this to be possible," Melanie Langbein, of Nuremberg's department for heritage co...
