Tigers And Athletics Close Series At Comerica Park

It's getaway day in Motown on Thursday when the Detroit Tigers wrap up a big 3-game set with the Oakland Athletics.

First pitch from Comerica Park is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. (ET) with Anibal Sanchez on the hill for Jim Leyland's Tigers. Bob Melvin counters with Tommy Milone for the A's. The Motor City squad went out as an early $150 favorite with the MLB odds board showing an 8½-run total.

Detroit drew first blood in the series opener on Tuesday, an easy 12-2 victory behind Miguel Cabrera's big stick. The victory still left the Tigers 3-games behind the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central and 5.5 out of a wild card entry. Oakland remained three back of the Texas Rangers in the AL West, and a half-game in front of the Yankees and Orioles, one of which will win the AL East, for the top wild card slot in the Junior Circuit.

Tuesday's victory might have come with a cost for Leyland's crew as starting pitcher Max Scherzer exited the game with what is being described as "shoulder fatigue." The good news is there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with his right shoulder, and the Tigers are hoping that a short amount of rest will do the trick.

The middle game of the contest on Wednesday pitted Brett Anderson vs. Justin Verlander, and was still pending with the Tigers decided favorites at -170.

Oakland is enduring a very difficult closing stretch on the schedule with this road trip continuing into New York against the Yankees and then on to Texas following Thursday's matinee. Things started well by taking five of seven from the Angels and Orioles last week, but the A's need to rekindle some of their road magic from earlier when they won 12 straight away from home.

Milone has been solid of late, both at home and on the road, with the Athletics winning five of the southpaw's last six assignments. The rookie out of USC also found success against this Tigers batting order back in May when he worked seven frames and allowed just one earned run to grab the cash as a +115 underdog. Heading into Wednesday's game against another Oakland left-hander in Anderson, Detroit was 23-22 against southpaws.

Sanchez didn't get off to a great start with the Tigers following his trade from Miami, and the Tigers are just 3-6 in his nine assignments so far. However, he has pitched well enough to have won his last five outings only to get very little help from his lineup or defense while posting a 2.07 ERA in that span (Tigers 2-3).

Thursday will be Sanchez's first career appearance vs. the Athletics.

There is a 40 percent chance of morning showers in the Detroit area on Thursday, but the weatherman says that should clear off by the afternoon. The high is only expected to climb into the low-70s with a 10-12 mph wind from the SW (in from right).

Veteran Gary Darling is in line to have plate duty for the series finale. Now in his 25th season as an MLB umpire, the native San Franciscan's previous 33 times to call balls and strikes this season have resulted in a 17-16 'over' mark.

Dodgers take on Nats in Thursday rubber match

LOS ANGELES DODGERS (77-72)

at WASHINGTON NATIONALS (90-58)


First pitch: Thursday, 7:05 p.m. EDT
Line: Washington -125, Los Angeles +115, Total: 8

After tying up the series Wednesday with a 7-6 victory, the Dodgers will look to win the rubber game Thursday against the Nationals and stay in the NL playoff picture.

Two lefties will duel in this game with Ross Detwiler and Chris Capuano taking the hill. Capuano is coming off a rough start in which he did not make it out of the fifth inning, allowing four runs (two earned) on six hits and three home runs. He has an 11-10 record, 3.60 ERA and 1.19 WHIP this year, though his road splits—4.30 ERA and 1.27 WHIP— are noticeably worse. Detwiler is coming off a gem against the Braves, having allowed just one earned run over six innings. He has a 2.00 ERA in his last three starts and an overall 3.33 ERA this season, working his way to an 8-6 record as a starter. Detwiler is even better at home where he has a 6-2 record as a starter with a 2.82 ERA and 1.29 WHIP, leading his club to a 10-3 mark in these home starts. That fits right in line with the Nationals’ dominance at home where they have a 45-28 record (.616), tying them for the third-best mark in the majors. Take WASHINGTON as slight favorites here.

This three-star FoxSheets trend also supports the Nationals:

Play On - Home teams with a money line of -100 to -150 (WASHINGTON) - hot hitting team - batting .290 or better over their last 20 games, with a hot bullpen whose ERA is under 3.00 the last 15 games. (57-19 over the last 5 seasons.) (75%, +33.1 units. Rating = 3*).

Detwiler hasn’t lost since Aug. 22, leading his team to a 3-1 record in his past four starts. He has started against Los Angeles once this year, a loss on April 27 in which he allowed three earned runs in six innings. Overall, in two career starts against the Dodgers, he is 0-1 (team 1-1) with a 4.63 ERA and 1.37 WHIP. Going deep into games is not one of Detwiler’s strengths, he averages just 5.7 innings per start, but that works to his benefit with the National bullpen supporting him. Nationals relievers have a 3.20 ERA, 24-17 record and 48 saves on the season. Although the Nationals have lost four of their past five contests, look for them to reverse their fortunes here.

Capuano threw a gem against the Nationals earlier this season on April 29, allowing just three hits over 6.2 shutout innings. Overall he is 3-3 (team 3-4) in his career against them with a 3.72 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. Although the Dodgers have won three straight Capuano starts, he individually is 0-2 in his past six outings with Los Angeles falling in the previous three. Dating back to June 28, he is 2-8, while his team is 6-9 over these 15 starts. He’s averaged a mere 5.4 innings per start in his past three outings, but he can’t really count on L.A.’s bullpen to bail him out again, considering it has a 4.18 ERA on the road this season. The Dodgers are 4-1 against the Nats this year and are in more need of a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, trailing both Atlanta and St. Louis by two games in the NL Wild Card race. Still, avoid L.A. without too much help from the lines.

Thursday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STREAKING

Jeremy Guthrie, Kansas City Royals (4-3, 3.13)


Guthrie has turned his season around. He is 4-0 with a 1.78 ERA in his past eight outings - all Royals' victories. Guthrie was traded after going 3-9 with the Colorado Rockies to Kansas City on July 20 and promptly lost his first three starts. He has not lost since, and is especially tough at home where he owns a 1.22 ERA in his past five outings. Guthrie toes the rubber at Kauffman Stadium against the White Sox next.

Wandy Rodriguez, Pittsburgh Pirates (11-13, 3.65)

Rodriguez collected his third win in a row after recording a quality start against the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. The 33-year-old Dominican yielded three runs on nine hits in six innings in the 7-6 triumph. Rodriguez fell to 8-9 in his career versus the Brewers, his next opponent, after walking four in 6 2/3 innings of a 6-5 loss on Aug. 24.


SLUMPING

Johnny Cueto, Cincinnati Reds (17-9, 2.92)


Cueto remained stuck on 17 wins as he was tagged for six runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings of a loss at Miami on Saturday. It was the third straight setback for the 26-year-old Dominican, who has surrendered 14 runs and 26 hits in 15 1/3 frames during that span. He looks to get back on track against the Cubs on Thursday.

Esmerling Vasquez, Minnesota Twins (0-2, 7.53)

Vasquez allowed three runs, three hits, walked four and struck out four in 5 2/3 innings in a 6-0 loss to Chicago on Friday. His previous 141 major league appearances were all in relief with Arizona from 2009-11, when he was 5-10. Vasquez takes the bump against the Indians next.
