not easy to trust either offense, cws dead last in most offensive categories and tigers not much better. these pitchers, cws pen, the fact it appears ppl are actually betting the under probably just blindly fading these offenses. yesterday was a way stronger under, im growing a tad partial to the over here. kenta has shown no ability to go even 5 innings, far as i can tell this thorpe kid is nothing special, scouting reports do say he has a pretty nasty change up, not sure that makes for a great righty starter with a below avg fastball to go along w it. wacha the only righty off top my head who has carved out a pretty good career as a rh starter and change being his best pitch, his heater doesn't sit around 90mph tho, at one time it was mid 90s and still think he at least low 90s w it. thorpe sits 90 so not sure how well the change will play off that? tigers have a handful of bats that have hit change ups pretty well, very good slug vs them this year.
as bad cws offense is can't trust meada to shut a little league lineup down right now!! he has only went 5 innings in a handful his starts and sporting a 36-18 k/bb, even white sox outta be able to plate a few vs that!! not the easiest play to make but feel like this a over game if anything. assume pens will decide outcome which makes tigers price slightly better than yesterday but laying juice w a guy who could be finished after a inning or 2 doesn't sound real fun!!!
