976 DET (-119) 5Dimes vs 975 PIT
double-dime bet
Analysis:I'm backing the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night. Finally, the Tigers return home where they won three straight before embarking on a 2-7 road trip that helped remove them from the top spot in the AL Central. But they're back home against a pitcher they punished twice last season. Vance Worley has surprised the masses with his success as a member of the Pirates' rotation, but he was slammed for a 7.59 ERA & 1.87 WHIP in two outings against the Tigers in 2013. Worley wasn't bad in 2011 & 2012 with the Phillies, but was no match in his one season in the American League as a member of the Minnesota Twins last season. The Tigers will send Buck Farmer to the mound tonight. The right-hander pitched extremely well in Single-A and Double-A this season with an overall ERA below 3.00. He also owns 127 strikeouts in 115 2/3 IP. Detroit is in a tough spot with their rotation, which is why they have placed Farmer in this spot. But the young hurler has the advantage of never having been seen by the Pirate lineup. He also will be pitching for a team that's on a 14-1 IL run at home, averaging 7.2 rpg, while winning by 5 rpg. Meanwhile, the Bucs still haven't figured out the AL road, winning just 15 of their last 58 in American League parks. I believe Detroit will get to Worley like they and other AL teams did in 2013 and I'm backing the Tigers on Wednesday, my MLB Knockout. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.Pick Made: Aug 12 2014 11:19PM PST
