I don't THINK this comes off of 9 but it's possible, but right now 8.5 is available - it's significant to come off nine but I have to go with the work. The weather is ideal, which temps in the mid 80's and a very nice breeze blowing out to RF. First of all there's Kikcuhi who in my opinion had his moment in the sun last start against SD. What I really like here is the he just pitched against the Tigers, and you guys know how I am about rematches. All you need to do with him is look at his last start against LAA where he was killed -- the very prior starts was ALSO against the Angels.The same can be said about Boyd - yes he's been a bright spot in an otherwise tough season in Motown, but he also just threw in Seattle, and although he'll strike some people out his is very prone to the long ball. We have a Tigers' pen with an ERA of 6.60 over the last week, so barring a real gem by Boyd Seattle will get their half. We have an equally sour Mariner's pen, and that's been all season for Seattle. I simply don't see how both teams don't get four runs here.
