I know that Radke has struggled against the Tigers this season, however he has been pitching very well as of late. Twins are as hot as they come, 18-8 since the All-Star Break. At +1.35 I may have to take a stab here. Any thoughts?
Radke has pitched well recently... 3 or fewer runs in 7 of his last 8 (and 2 or less in 6 of the L8), but his one start of more than 3 runs... a 3 inning, 7 hit, 4 run effort against.... the Tigers. Detroit has at least 5 players with career batting averages over .400 vs Radke.
Robertson's been getting hit recently, but still owns lefties (Joe Mauer is 1-15 vs Robertson) and they're hitting less than .200 vs him for the yr.
Radke is 0-3 w/ an ERA of over 10.00 vs Detroit.
Over looks like a good play, I also like Detr on the run-line for 5 innings.
