10* AL Game of the Week
(MLB) Detroit vs. Cleveland,
Money Line: -118.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Win
Detroit rallied in the ninth to beat Cleveland, 4-2, last night keeping the pressure on the Royals, who maintained their half-game lead in the American League Central. Verlander admitted his throwing shoulder is "kind of fatigued," and I beleive he isn't himself this season. INdians starter Salazar as he's 4-2 with an ERA under three post all star break. The oddsmakers are wanting all the action they can get on the Tigers and begging you to take them making Verlander a rare underdog tonight. Danny Salazar of the Indians tries to insert itself into the thick of the AL playoff picture. The second-year right-hander has been much improved since rejoining the Indians after a stint with Triple-A Columbus. Since July 22, Salazar's first start back from the Minors, his ERA is just 2.84 and he's been a significant boost to the rotation. Detroit is banged up with injuries and catcher Alex Avila left Tuesday night's game after being struck in the mask by a foul ball during the sixth inning. I really like the CLEVELAND INDIANS here on Wednesday night as a 10* PLAY.
