DETROIT (VERLANDER -105) Boston (Wells)

Let’s give the Tigers credit.  They have won with their backs to the wall, well somewhat to the wall.  In the midst of a rare slump, they faced a great challenge heading to Boston.  All they did was beat Josh Beckett and Curt Schilling back-to-back. Boston meanwhile is desperate and not performing well, losing 7-of-10.

Justin Verlander has a 2.95 ERA and 1.211 in 22 starts.  Detroit has won 16 of them.  David Wells has a 7.65 ERA and 1.800 WHIP in four home starts. Obviously there are many sub-categories in which Detroit excels.  But simply put they are winning just when the heat was turned up and Boston is fading.  We look for it to continue.
