- Hımmm, I wish a homerun!
- Sorry, Felix Hernandez will have the ball tonight. Make another wish!

Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers will meet at Safeco Field
in the last game of their series while game's total is
sitting 8½.

Texas Rangers will have Kason Gabbard as Starting pitcher in
this game. Gabbard has a 1-0 record and a 2.18 ERA this
season. Don't let these stats mislead you because he's
listed 57th in Jeff Sagarin's Pitcher Rankings with 4.1
NPERA!

On the other side, starting this game for the Mariners will
be Felix Hernandez. The righthander has a 3.04 ERA to go
along with a 2-2 record this season. He is listed 26th in
Jeff Sagarin's Pitcher Rankings and he's a very decent
pitcher..

Seattle lost straight two games against Texas so I'm
expecting hosts to be more motivated than visitors..

BOSTON RED SOX vs DETROIT TIGERS



What a beautiful park, isn't it?

A GOOD REASON TO BACK VISITORS: J. VERLANDER!

Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers will meet at Comerica Park tonight and according to odds we can say that bookmakers are expecting a competitive game tonight. However, I don't agree with bookies. 1,85 for visitors is definetely too much!

Red Sox bats are very hot at the moment! Red Sox are scoring 7.8 runs per game when we look at Boston's last 5 games. On the other side, Detroit is playing with 4 runs per game in last 5 games played.

A good reason to back Boston!

Detroit Tigers will give the ball to Justin Verlander in this contest. Righthander Verlander is 1-5 (!) with a 6.28 ERA. Verlander is listed 35th in Jeff Sagarin's Pitcher Rankings with 4.27 NPERA. Isn't it a good reason to back Boston tonight?

On the other side, Red Sox will give the ball to ace starter Josh Beckett! Righthander Beckett is 3-2 this season with a 2.55 NPERA! Watch out, I'm not taling about ERA here, it's Normalized Predicted Era. Ace righthander is 7th in JS Pitcher Rankings!
