MLB - 925 Detroit Tigers @ 926 Kansas City Royals
(Starting Pitchers: A. Sanchez vs B. Chen)
***DOUBLE DIME PLAY***
After yesterday's high scoring game, Detroit will start Sanchez who is coming from best outing since he joined Detroit, where he allowed two runs and five hits in 6.2 innings in a game against Toronto. He had some excellent numbers in that outing with 1.35 ERA, 2.19 FIP and 4.18 xFIP and his fastball was much better on that game than it was on his previous outings. With just two hitters from the Royals having previously faced Sanchez before, I believe he will be able to surprise the Royals lineup today and have another good outing tonight.
On the other hand, Kansas City will start Chen, who rolled his ankle last Monday before his team's game. He is coming from a decent outing against Boston, where he allowed three runs in six innings. However, he is 4-5 with a 6.10 ERA in 15 games against Detroit and he has lost both his starts against the Tigers this season. With Detroit hitting .298 BA and .935 OPS in 161 AB's against Chen, I believe they will pound him once again tonight, especially when he isn't at 100% physically and he had just 4 days rest prior to this outing.
I believe Detroit will have a clear SP edge tonight and with them hitting at least as well as the Royals right now, I believe the Tigers will have an easy win tonight and therefore, I'll be taking them in here in a Double Dime Play!
Pick: 4 units (Double Dime Play) on 925 Detroit Tigers ML (w/ A. Sanchez) @ -128 / 1.78 on Betonline
