Garrett Richards has started two games versus Detroit. The Angels outscored the Tigers by a combined 23-0 in those two games. The Tigers have played two three-game series in Anaheim since 2012. They are 0-6 SU in those six games. They haven't won there since July 6, 2011. Before the Tigers' two wins versus the Halos back in April they were 0-10 SU versus the Angels since Sep 7, 2012.
Tigers have won their last two games versus the Angels this season after losing a crapload in the matchup between these two teams. And I still think Angels are cold. Scherzer's four starts with the Tigers against the Angels since 2012: 29 IP, 5 R, 15 H, 8 BB, 36 K. I didn't check to see who all the dudes were that are still on the Angels' roster after all that time though. But I played the Tigers anyway. Besides maybe the White Sox I think you can make an arguement that the Tigers are a much better offense than any of Richards' L7 opponents. So I'm rolling with them. Plus I hate the Angels right now.
And then for the early game. Alvarez ran naked into the Mets' rape fest when they were putting it all together on folks back before the break. But aside from that he has allowed two or fewer runs in his past nine starts. And the Braves rank 27th in the MLB in runs scored. Same thing I mentioned with Richards applies to Harang regarding who he's pitched against recently: Philly 3x, Houston, Arizona, and the Mets. Even though Harang did face the Mets amidst that same sickening sex fest they were putting together against their opponents back before the break and survived it.
Anyway, two dogs to help me get my fix tomorrow. I'm rolling with Marlins in the early game at 133. I didn't want to fade Iwakuma in the late game, and Chen has weird SU results when he starts two consecutive games on the road. So action junk on the Tigers in the late game at 116. I'm not trying to lay any juice tomorrow. I'm just trying to kick back. Cheers dudes.
