Detroit is in the worst spot of any team today. Day off tomorrow after a six game roadie which is the problem. Days off during the year are more valuable than diamonds to a major leaguer because you get so few of them. Watch how fast this game is played and quick swings in the count you see from Detroit today. If they were home it might be different but they can't wait to get this game over and get back home and enjoy their day off. No team takes games off like Detroit, they're so talented they can pull off six or seven in a row but today they lay down. You guys like Porcello a lot more than me, he's an average pitcher his whole career having a career year and those number will regress while Santiago has pitched better than his numbers suggest. This is usually where managers like to give their starters a rest and give them two days off. Wouldn't be surprised to see some regulars out of the line up.
The Tigers team is 11-71 (.154) lifetime against Santiago. I usually need 20 at bats to take these numbers seriously but there isn't one Tiger hitter that has had any type of success against him.
Jackson 2-16
Hunter 2-10
Martinez 2-11
Cabrera 0-7 and on and on and on.
Not going to get into it but a much bigger sample size against Porcello with Angel bats and they have very good success hitting him.
Big Four 21-62, only guy who doesn't hit Porcello is Aybar 4-21.
Angels -105 4 units
I like Greene and he has decent stuff but if you are good you don't get to the majors at 25 or 26. Toronto does well against righties even without Ency. Yanks continue to struggle on offense doing it with mirrors and a great bullpen. If they aren't leading after 7 innings they don't win. Think Greene gets hit and starts to get exposed a bit. Not worried about Happ the Yanks make everybody look good. If you don't follow this team I don't think you realize just how bad the line up really is.

That's it for now. Gotta study more but those two jumped out to me. Pretty sure I'll be on Seattle and Cincy. Going to the gym now and run some errands.
