Tigers @ Yankees <o></o>
Recommendation: Tigers -134<o></o>
The Tigers obviously made a huge gain by adding David Priceto the rotation. He’s a guy who has great command, rarely going out of thestrike zone. He hits both sides of the plate with tremendous accuracy and hasgreat stuff to go along with it. Price is on extra rest after being dealt fromTampa, and he also has good lifetime success at Yankee Stadium, going 4-0 witha 1.91 ERA in his appearances in the Bronx. He also leads the league instrikeouts. <o></o>
Hiroki Kuroda remains what’s left of a starting rotationthat has been riddled with injuries. He’s pitched decent as of late, give up 3earned runs in his last start against the Rangers. He does, however, own a 5.85FIP against the Tigers current rotation. Joba Chamberlain will also be cominghome to face his former team, so if this game is close late count on Joba tocome in with a motivational edge. Miguel Cabrera has great lifetime successagainst Kuroda, and around him Detroit remains one of the best offenses in allof baseball. The Yanks squeaked one out last night, but this Tigers squad ismuch better overall so I don’t count on it happening again tonight. Take theTigers. <o></o>
