Tigers @ A's

Tigers @ A's -133: Well, Tigers are looking to sweep the storybook A's tonight. It certainly won't be easy, but I think it will be done. Anderson has a 11.57 ERA against the Tigers this year, in 2.1 innings pitched. Anderson only has 6 starts this year, and has a 2.57 ERA. I think it should be of note that he has only given up 1 HR in 35 innings pitched. Due to the lack of instant offense against Anderson, I also like U 7. Tigers combined have hit a .280 against Anderson. Another reason I like the Tigers is that Anderson frequently throws to the right side of the plate. The Tigers have hit pitches on the right side of the plate  50 batting points better, than pitches thrown on the left side. I believe that is a untold stat that explains why he struggles with the Tigers. Anibal Sanchez starts tonight, and although the A's are hitting .282 against him, Sanchez is a great road pitcher. He has pitched in two of the best hitters parks in the MLB, Marlins park and Detroit's home park. He has a staggering 3.29 ERA on the road, compared to 4.52 at home. Sanchez is also coming off a start in which he pitched 6 solid innings, and gave up 1 run against Minnesota, and before he pitched a complete game shutout against KC. Sanchez also has given up a crazy 20 HR this year in 32 starts, but I think he will strongly benefit from playing in Oakland's pitcher friendly park. Tigers for 1 unit and U 7 for 1 unit.

  1. This is the perfect blend of wit and sports analysis. Sport broadcasting is going down the drain, but its is blogs like these that are bringing it back. I think whoever writes this blog absolutly a future in sportswriting.
