Rockies at Tigers
(MLB) Rockies (COL) vs. Tigers (DET),
Point Spread: -1.50 | -106.00 Tigers (DET) (Home)
Result: Loss
We only have a couple of more weeks to go against the Rockies so we might as well take advantage while we can. Even if we are compelled to lay the extra run with the Tigers, which doesn't really seem to be bad value at all, considering that the first two games of this midweek set, Detroit has outscored the Rocks 18-4 in romping to a couple of wins. Colorado continues to head south, rushing head-first into 100 losses in what has been an exceedingly desultory campaign in Denver. Ryan Feltner will try to stop the bleeding. He might be the Rockies' best option these days, and did beat the brewers in his last start, but that only improved him to 2-10 after he was hit for a 5.94 ERA in August. Advantage Detroit and AL Cy Young candidate Tarik Skubal (16-4, 2.53 ERA, 0.95 WHIP), with the Tigers winning 8 of his last 10 starts. Detroit also hanging tough in the AL wild card chase, just 3 games behind the Twins for the last slot into Thursday. Play Tigers on Run Line
