Loving Detroit Today (Thurs)

[TdotKelly]

Nate Robertson (Detroit Tigers) - The Tigers are on the verge of a postseason berth and with Robertson on the hill they shouldn`t lose any ground. He`s 2-1 in his last three starts with a staggering 0.82 ERA while averaging just under five strikeouts. He`s a -123 favorite against the Orioles tonight.

-120 is a great value in my opinion.

Orioles can't hit lefties so I like that angle. Only thing to worry about is this is a sandwiched makeup game and they will be leaving for the weekend series afterwards. They're in a playoff battle, so you doubt they would over look this game. Emotional series against the white sox and they take 2 of 3 then fly to baltimore and then its off to Kansas City. Just somethings to think about. I would be all over the Tigers if this was their weekend series.

If Detroit can't get up for this game they better check their pulse.

Agree with Dooley.

There is a good reason for the price. They get done with an intense series against the White Sox, where they essential KO'd them, left on a plane from Chicago to Baltimore LATE last night, and now get no sleep as they get into Baltimore in the early AM today and have to get up for a day game.

No way I would play a favorite in that spot. GL with your play though.

Robertson probably got there yesterday & is well rested to keep the score down.
Everything Jayhawk Thor mentioned points to an under.

Not exactly the "strongest" Detroit line-up!

 

[Hoshtaylor]

who the F*CK is Grilli and why is he still pitching about to blow the game...

 

[Hoshtaylor]

down 3-4 now...I can honestly say I cannot remember winning a BAL play, for or against, over or under the entire year....unf*ckingbelievable !!!!!!!!!

I just don't understand how DET just doesn't care...it's not like they've wrapped up the division or anything...
