However, he\u2019s hit a lull as of late. The right-hander had an ERA over six in July, and that\u2019s barely improved in August.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Across three starts, Mize owns a 4.67 ERA this month. While his ERA still sits at 3.63 on the year, he\u2019s allowed Over 2.5 earned runs in two of his previous three outings. Mize surrendered four earned runs last time out against the Los Angeles Angels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>At home, Mize\u2019s ERA is 3.48. Respectable, but he also gave up three earned runs earlier this season when he faced the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/sport\/baseball\/mlb\/teams\/main\/kansas-city-royals\/odds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kansas City Royals<\/a>. The 28-year-old is struggling to find his best right now, and while I won\u2019t say he\u2019s going to get tagged for a ton of runs, Detroit will need to give him some run support here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"+425_SGP\">Royals vs Tigers same-game parlay (SGP)<datawidget-sgp host=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\" betslipid=\"cb65040d-3514-451b-bc36-4a209ac73d26\" product=\"default\" league=\"mlb\"\/><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re going to feed off my best bet and focus on two Royals hitters for my SGP.\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/sport\/baseball\/mlb\/players\/14417\/salvador-perez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Salvador Perez<\/a> is 13-for-30 lifetime against Mize.

He\u2019s also had boatloads of success against Mize, going 6-for-14 with a pair of round-trippers.
