Scott Spreitzer's 25* MLB SATURDAY KNOCKOUT! *14-3, 82% Run!
I'm laying the price with the Tigers on Saturday. If you've been with me over the past four weeks, you know I have played Justin Verlander on several occasions. The Tigers have won each of his last six starts, and four straight at Comerica. The righthander actually started warming up on May 14...and has been as good as it gets for 13 straight starts. He's held those 13 opponents to 25 earned runs and 97 base runners in 87 2/3 innings. Verlander is averaging almost seven innings per start, and he has more strikeouts than hits allowed, 69-to-64! By the way, the above numbers add up to a 2.57 ERA & 1.11 WHIP. Verlander completely shut-down the ChiSox in a June 11 complete game win. And, Chicago is averaging just four runs per game in road night games against righthanders. Meanwhile, it's highly publicized, but worth noting again, that Detroit absolutely crushes southpaws. They'll face lefty John Danks, who was lit-up in his last start...his only one since the all-star break. That's worth noting because Danks, who owns a career 3.52 pre-all star ERA, is just 1-7 in 11 starts afterwards, posting a 7.59 ERA, 1.73 WHIP, and .326 BAA! The southpaw really wore down in the second half last season. Making matters worse for Danks, (or better for us), is that Detroit has rocked the young hurler in his three career starts against them. In fact, in his only outing at Comerica, Danks was knocked around for four earned runs and nine base runners in just 4 2/3 innings of action. I expect more of the same tonight. Two big runs continue...Verlander's dominance on the bump and Detroit's dominance at the plate against lefthanders. The Tigers are my 25* release on Saturday. Thanks! GL! Scott.

Nice pick by SNOTzer, one of the biggest frauds around if you consider the long term and not just a few winning days.
