Baltimore at Detroit

The Detroit Tigers are the popular choice to win the AL East this season. They have won a pair of games by a single run, and Canrera, and Hunter have combined to go just 1-15 with no HRs or RBI. They will need more from them to keep winning going forward. The Tigers continue to have a weakness, and that is closing out games. They brought in Joe Nathan, but he blew his first save opportunity of the season. Baltimore has to like what they have gotten from Miguel Gonzalez, as he closed last season with five September starts, allowing no more than 3 earned runs in any of them. The Tigers dropped all of the last four starts by Sanchez as a favorite last season, and Baltimore has done well in this series with six wins in the last eight meetings, including four of the last five in Detroit. Play on Baltimore.
