Tigers -106
The Tigers have one of my higher net short ratios out of any team. I rarely find value on them. But with the way Verlander is pitching, coupled with the way the Twins have been playing and Liriano has looked on the mound, I am not surprised I am find value on them today. I have to see a little bit more out f Liriano before declaring him back. The market is willing to claim he is back now. But his fastball looks like a watered down version of what he had before his injury, his slider not providing the same value either, and he has a high FIP/ERA disparity. I have no problem backing Verlander when he is out of favor. He has been known for horrific Aprils and then being dominant in May. This may be the start where he turns the corner.
