Big day in sports today. Women's French Open Final this morning and I think I'm going to toss a little action wager down on it. Then a double header of Euro 2008 action starting at noon Eastern time. Then the Belmont Stakes. Tomorrow is just as good.
Detroit Tigers OVER 4.5 -113
Laffey was hot but got roughed up bad in his last start vs Texas when he allowed 11 hits and 8 earned runs in 5 innings. Teams are hitting .347 against him when he starts away from home. Right-handed hitters have batted .294 (37-for-128) against him so look for Leyland to get righties in the line-up.
Overall, Laffey does have good #'s but he has yet to face any of the top five teams in the American League against left-handed pitching.
The Rangers entered Friday ranked sixth with a .270 average off southpaws. DET rank 2nd with a .295 average to go with a league-leading .469 slugging percentage off LHP.
DET score an average of 5.6 runs/game vs a Left handed starter and CLE hae a horrible bullpen, one that is among the worst in the Majors.
Good luck. May the winners be yours.<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
