6/15/14 Tigers vs. Twins -149 After jumping out to a huge lead in the AL Central to startthe season, the Tigers have significantly regressed the past 25 or so games.With the Royals playing decent ball, Detroit’s lead has been cut down to theslimmest of margins. With World Series hopes in Detroit, they must win gamesagainst below average opponents, a category the Twins fit right into. At 32-34,most would agree that the Twinkies have actually overachieved thus far. They’vefound some solid starting pitching in the form of Phil Hughes, who’ssurprisingly revamped his career. Sadly though, Ricky Nolasco doesn’t fit intothe “solid pitching” category. In fact, he’s far from it. I want absolutely nopart of this guy. Nolasco has given up 8 runs in his last two starts, andremains very home run prone. Add in an ERA of 5.70, and backing this guy doesnot seem like a very smart move. Trevor Plouffe and Eduardo Nunez will alsolikely be out for Minnesota. Rick Porcello hasn’t played well as of lateeither, but this seems like a prime opportunity for him to get things back ontrack. I usually don’t like laying this kind of a price, but the spot seemsright and no other games particularly jumped off the board at me. Take theTigers -149.
as much as i hate the tigers they seem to of finally gotten their shit together. i still think them and the royals split the next series... unless the tigers blow them out the first two, then it might be a sweep depending on pitchers.
Tigers should definitely smack this guy and their shiit bullpen around tomorrow. I'm guessing it be tigers over 4.5 runs prolly juiced. I kinda like Kansas City but yeah it would have to depend on the pitching matchups for the royals. I think they only have like 2 really good starters and the other 3 are average to below average.
