Here is a pick for Thursday.
CLEVELAND -125 over Detroit (Carmona over Verlander)
In 5 starts against the Tigers, the Indians are 4-1 with Carmona on the hill and that is simply because Carmona has a 1.06 WHIP and 3.09 ERA during those starts. The Indians have been Verlander's nemesis throughout his career and Jacobs field is his worst spot to pitch. In 9 starts against the Indians, the Tigers are just 3-6 with Verlander as he has posted a 1.52 WHIP and 6.84 ERA. In 5 starts at Jacobs Field, the Tigers are 1-4 behind Verlander and he has posted a 1.68 WHIP and 8.89 ERA. Cleveland shouldn't be scared of him tonight as they try to avenge for last night's 10-2 beating.
