10* MLB GAME OF THE YEAR
(MLB) Boston vs. Detroit, 10/16/2013 4:07 PM, Score: 3 - 7
Money Line: -120.00 Detroit (Home)
Result: Win
The Red Sox will send Jake Peavy to the mound who pitched well in his only postseason start thus far going 5.2 innings against Tampa Bay allowing 5 hits and 1 earned run. Over the last three years, Fister has allowed the fifth-most ground balls in all of baseball. In 2013, he ranked fourth among qualifiers in ground ball-to-fly ball ratio. The Tigers are 10-3 in Fister's last 13 starts after allowing two runs or less in their previous game. This Detroit team has seen a lot of Peavy, as he used to play in the same division with the White Sox. Last year vs Detroit Peavy had 6 starts going 1-3 with a 5.63 ERA, .275 OBA and 1.33 WHIP. At Comerica he was 0-2 over 3 starts with a 5.66 ERA. In 2011 he had a 9.00 ERA over 2 starts vs the Tigers. I also took note that one of Detroit's additions this year, Torii Hunter, is 7 for 16 with a homerun lifetime vs Peavy. Look for Fister to get the better of this matchup here on Wednesday night. The Tigers have struggled with runners in scoring position but I like the big bats of the Tigers tonight. Peavy has struggled on the road With the success Detroit has had against Peavy I like our chances with the Detroit Tigers here at home in a must win game 4 and I look for Fielder and Cabrera to come up big and Detroit to bounce back after a pair of 1 run losses.
