MLB - 919 Detroit Tigers @ 920 Minnesota Twins
(Starting Pitchers: D. Fister vs P. Walters)
Detroit's offense has lost a bit of its fire lately, especially on the road. This is why they are 22-10 at home, but just 15-19 in away games! Doug Fister will pitch for them and even though he hasn't been brilliant on his last four starts, he did more than enough to win decisions, but Detroit gave him no run support with just 2, 0, 0 and 2 runs scored in those games! Fister's command continues to be great and he is coming for today's game with 5 days of rest, so this is a good spot for him to dominate the Twins.
So, the key in here will be to know what P.J. Walters will do today. He made a considerable effort on his last two outings with 97 and 116 pitches thrown and this is especially important for today, as he had just 4 days of rest for today's game. Walters was decent on his last two starts, but they were against Philadelphia and Kansas City, two teams that are #17 and #29 in the league versus RH pitchers. On the other hand, Detroit is #7 on the league against RH pitchers. He was decent on a previous start against Detroit this season, with two runs allowed in five innings, with a 3/1 K/BB ratio. His lack of a strikeout punch is a problem for him, especially against a team that has such a great BA as Detroit, who is #1 in the league with .279 BA and #2 in the league in avoiding getting struck out with just 16.8% K%!
Considering Detroit's SP edge for today and their bounce back spot, I expect the Tigers to show up today and get a comfortable win in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 919 Detroit Tigers RL -1 (w/ D. Fister) @ -130 / 1.77 on 5Dimes
