We have watched a lot of contending teams collapse down the stretch, from Atlanta, to Boston, to the Angels and even Tampa Bay at 8-7 in their last 15. Detroit has been on the improve all season and closing strong with a 29-9 mark in their last 38 games. They have not taken their foot off the gas pedal all the way to the finish line. Ricky porcello appears to be finding the groove again with four straight quality starts and five of his last six, while the Tribe experiments with Zack Mccallister who, in three big league starts, has yet to find answers with an 8.53 ERA. The Tribe is struggling against good teams and are now 22-52 in their last 74 as a dog. The Tigers are 44-12 in their last 54 as a favorite of -151 to -200 and 8-3 behind Porcello vs. Cleveland. The Tribe have dropped nine straight to the Tigers and I'm behind Detroit to close out with a win at home.
