This is a 6* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Detroit Tigers.
Setting the scene: The Angels just took two of three from Toronto and are poised for a big letdown. The Tigers are getting healthier and their bats are starting to come alive in their hunt for a playoff spot. When the smoke clears at the end of this one, we're expecting Justin Verlander to get the better of his inconsistent counterpart.
Ricky Nolasco: He's 4-11 with a 5.22 ERA. He most recently allowed three runs off eight hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings in a setback to Seattle on Monday. Nolasco has posted a horrible 5.19 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 17.1 innings for the Angels, allowing four home runs in just three outings. Note that Nolasco has struggled in this spot all year, going 2-8 with a 5.99 ERA in all night games.
Verlander: He's 13-7 with a 3.38 ERA. He comes in off a big win over the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing one run off three hits over six innings while also going on to strike out five. It was Verlander's eighth straight quality start and ninth in ten outings, a stretch in which he's posted a tiny 1.97 ERA and 74:17 K:BB ratio spanning 68.2 innings. Note that Verlander has been tough at home all year, going 8-4 with a respectable 3.28 ERA.
The bottom line: No need to overthink this one, we're going to lay the price with confidence as Verlander continues his mission for another Cy Young and the TIGERS continue their race for the postseason.
