MLB - 915 Texas Rangers @ 916 Detroit Tigers
(Starting Pitchers: J. Grimm vs D. Fister)
Detroit struggled yesterday against Chris Sale (#6 in the league), but they will now face a much worse SP in Justin Grimm (#128 in the league)! Grimm is coming from six subpar performances in a row and if I understand his struggles against Seattle's red hot offense, the truth is that he also allowed four earned runs and had 2/2 K/BB ratio against Houston and that's terrible news. Grimm's problem is that he is too hittable and he is allowing .299 BA! That's bad news for him as Detroit is #1 in the league with .281 BA! Detroit is coming from a losing series against the White Sox, so they will be super fired up today and they'll crush the struggling Grimm.
Doug Fister will start for the Tigers and he is posting a 7.66 ERA over his past four starts. The only good news for him is that he had the toughest strength of schedule of the whole league over the last three and six starts! Fister faced Cleveland, Toronto, the LA Angels and Boston on his last four outings! Texas's offense is far from the top of the league (#14 for the season; #18 over the last 14 days), so I believe Fister will bounce back tonight. I believe that the combination of Detroit's lineup crushing Grimm and Fister bouncing back against Texas, I believe that the Tigers will pick up an easy win tonight. I'm taking Detroit in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 916 Detroit Tigers RL -1 (w/ D. Fister) @ -128 / 1.78 on 5Dimes
