Tigers -$1.30 (Verlander) at Royals (Meche)
Analysis:
The marketplace has acted on this game betting the Royals. The Royals are the wrong side and the price is now low enough where I can get involved backing the better team, Detroit.The Tigers have the better starting pitcher with Justin Verlander against Gil Meche and also own the better offense and defense. The Tigers may even have the better bullpen, too, considering the Royals' injuries.Verlander and Meche have similar numbers on the season. But Verlander's current form is much better. Verlander is 4-0 with 1.02 ERA during his past five starts. He has struck out 52 during this span while only giving up 19 hits. Meche is dealing with back problems. He is 1-3 with a 6.31 ERA in his last five starts. The Royals were 1-4 in those starts and were outscored by a combined 13 runs. Verlander can dominate this Kansas City lineup. The Royals are near the bottom of the A.L. in every key offensive category, and just finished a series in St. Louis in which they got one run batted in from a starting position player.
thanks for the pick.
I used it it was awesome.
