The Tigers have not been a good investment at home, particularly
against righties (9-12, -$475). In fact, they are scoring almost
1.5 runs less per game versus righties than when facing
southpaws. Things won't get much better for them as they
prepare to face one of baseball's best righthanders in Jake
Peavy. Peavy was tagged for three homers in his last start, but
was still sharp and gave up only five hits and fanning six in five
frames. That start was pushed back due to a viral infection but
we expect him to be back to full form by now and he provides
good value as a light favorite in this situation. Detroit's Jason
Johnson has been pitching deep into games but has little to
show for his effort with a 4-5 record. We look for the Tigers
to leave him hanging out to dry again.
