Result: Loss
This is a 10* GAME OF THE WEEK on the Detroit Tigers.
Both of these veteran starting pitchers put together promising 2016 campaigns, but so far each has fallen short of expectations this year. That said, for a number of different reasons we believe that Justin Verlander and the Tigers could/should easily be much bigger favs in this one.
Aaron Sanchez: He's 0-2 with a 4.85 ERA. Sanchez most recently gave up eight runs off seven hits and four walks over just 1.2 innings in a loss to Houston on Friday. It was his first star back since May 19th and he looked horrible.
Verlander: He's 5-6 with a 4.73 ERA. Verlander most recently gave up one run off six hits and four walks while striking out six over seven innings in an unfortunate loss to Cleveland on Saturday. Verlander closed the first half strong though, posting three quality starts in his last five trips to the hill.
The bottom line: Verlander has consistently been at his best at home this year, going 3-1 with a respectable 3.61 ERA. Until Sanchez can string together a couple of decent efforts, we remain unconvinced. All in all, this is great value, play on the TIGERS.
