LA Angels team total over 3.5 (I would even take it over 4 if that is the team total for the angels). Current Angels lineup has hit Verlander pretty good. THe Angels have also hit tiger relief pitching even better. The tigers bullpen struggled against the whitesox. The tigers will not have Valverde available for tommorrow's game. He pitched 2 innings thursday and he got hit hard. Verlander threw a lot of pitches is his last start (124 pitches vs redsox).
Angels lineup vs Verlander
Abreu 7/19, double, hr, 5 walks, 2 rbi
Aybar 5/15, double, 2 walks, 6 rbi
Hunter 11/34, 3 double, triple, walk, 5 rbi
Izturis 6/15, double, 2 walks, rbi
Matsui 6/18, hr, walk, 3 rbi
Morales 5/15, double, hr, 8 rbi
Napoli, 3/15, hr, 4 walks, 2 rbi
Tigers relief pitching vs angels
Bonine 4 games, 6 innings, 6 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, 6.00 era
Coke 8 games, 5.2 innings, 6 hits, 5 runs, 3 walks, 7.94 era
Gonzalez 1 game, 4.0 innings, 4 hits, 5 runs, 7 walks, 5.73 era
Thomas 1 game, 6.0 innings, 7 hits, 6 runs, 4 walks, 9.0 era
Valverde 5 games, 4.2 innings, 3 hits, 3 runs, 3 walks, 5.79 era
Perry 6 games, 7 innings, 5 hits, 3 walks, 0 runs, 0.00 era
Valverde probably not available tommorrow night anyways. Angels are being shutout by the orioles. THey difinitely are not going to cover the over 5 runs tonite. At 3.5 runs this is going to hit. If Verlander had a strong bullpen, I probably would stay away. I am on this because of the tigers bullpen. Tiger bullpen had to pitch extra innings today against whitesox.
