    Really like the Tigers in this spot

    I bet the Rangers yesterday knowing that even though Verlander is out of his mind right now, that team's inability to manufacture runs has been the number 1 problem since losing Polanco. Whats really on the tigers side right now though, is that Benoit, Valverde and Jackson all had the day off yesterday because Verlander pitched a complete game, so you know they are going to be lights out at the end of the game. Also, the Tigers are really desparate right now, and at +123, I would say its worth it. I mean Penny will probably get hit, but I think the tigers hit as well and win a close one.

    You are just gambling.

    I'm not saying you lose, but this is purely a gamble on your part.

    I remember last year when the Tigers were slumping, I kept betting on the next game being their "breakout."

    It basically never came the entire 2H. This lineup just plain sucks. No power outside of Miggy, no protection for Miggy, no speed -- just awful.

    And Penny?!?!

    Detroit (3-7) is the only AL team Wilson has never faced, and he should be encouraged by the Tigers' .209 average (9 for 43) and 15 strikeouts against the two lefty starters they've faced.Struggling leadoff man Austin Jackson, who didn't start Monday, is 1 for 9 with five strikeouts versus left-handers. He did have a pinch-hit single to raise his average to .205.

    Kinsler has homered twice in five at-bats against Penny, while Mike Napoli is 4 for 8 with three homers.

    I love when the public jumps on a side early alt runline detroit-1.5 for .5unit I have no explanation for this play other than homedog ogando 0era yesterday was good he's statically the rangers best pitcher so far early on this season tigers should have a easier time today against wilson who has close to 3run era

    Penny has the capability to go out there and shut down a big league lineup, laugh all you want but he has the capability...

    Will he? Doubtful

    anyone taking the tigers is just over thinking this game...penny lasted 5 innings his last start and lets remember that detriot has one of the worst bullpens in the league....the only reason doe is betting the tigers is because josh beckett won sunday night vs yankees so he is comapring penny to beckett saying penny will do the same at home vs a good team...but penny is really really really washed up..beckett is still above average, he was just in a slump for awhile, u cant compare the two pitchers

    Ok the tigers have one of the worst bullpens in the league? You can say the tigers have starting pitching problems, or they have a weak offense or bad base running, but to say that they have a bad bullpen when its CLEARLY ONE OF THE TOP 5 BULLPENS IN THE MAJORS, THEN MY FRIEND YOU ARE RETARDED!

    adamo. I completely agree with you man... something tells me Tigers will take this game.... I open another thread stating Penny won't be lights out but Wilson will give up enough runs for Tigers win today.

    Settle down....

    I will explain. Brad Penny has been terrible this season so far. He is coming off a season ending INJ from last year, and who knows if that INJ has hampered his performance thus far. Nothing points to a Detroit win today, and the Tigers are fresh off losing a series to the pathetic Royals.

    So my statement that a Detroit bet is "just gambling". Was pointing out that Rangers have started out the season on a tear, and they have been putting money in their backers pockets, (9-1)SU & +9 Units. While the Tigers have been robbing their backers pockets, (3-7)SU & -5.87Units.

    Their is a difference in getting plus odds against a team that is slumping, and getting +odds against a team that has only lost 1 game.


    All that said Ranger can still lose today, but I said that in my OP.

    Tigers bullpen has yet to live up to its billing. They have actually been horrible.

    Tigers Bullpen:
    28 IP; 22 Runs; 30hits; 1.55 WHIP; and 6.68 ERA

    League AVG:
    30 IP; 14.27 Runs; 28.43hits; 1.350WHIP; and 3.810 ERA

    Rangers Bullpen:
    25 IP; 6 Runs; 16hits; 1.067WHIP; and 2.13ERA.

    Now the season is young, and the stats will even out. Though I still think Rangers bullpen has performed much better.

    Niether you or I are SBR pro's. SO the transaction of that amount of points is impossible.

    Plus. I could not careless where Tigers bullpens ranks @ the end of any season. I'm not in a contest with you, only my local sportsbook.
