AAA's American League Afternoon "ASSASSIN!"
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Detroit,
Money Line: -113.00 Detroit (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the Detroit Tigers.

A couple of competent starters go head to head this afternoon, but we think the value on the home side is just too good to turn down in this one. The vistors send Chris Archer (3-4, 4.38 ERA) to the hill. Archer was rocked hard in four straight losses to begin the season, but has since regained his form to go 3-0 with a 2.43 ERA over his last five starts. Note though that Archer owns a deplorable 6.15 ERA on the road this year and a poor 4.70 ERA in all day games. The home side counters with Jordan Zimmermann (6-2, 2.45 ERA) who got out to an unreal start to the season, but who has since come back down to earth of late, posting a 5.32 ERA over his last three starts. Zimmermann though has been "lights out" in day games thus far, posting an almost non-existent 0.45 ERA in such situations. Zimmermann and the rest of the rotation have been getting a ton of support of late also, as the Tigers are hitting .327 with 11 homers and have scored 33 runs in winning five of their last six. A big injury note for the visitors, Gold Glove center fielder Kevin Keirmaier fractured his left hand in yesterday's setback and will be unavailable today. Great price on DETROIT today.
