I've been living on the under plays lately, and squeaked another out for the sunday afternoon game. Even when the Mariners were lighting up the scoreboard in the first 2 innings, I wasn't horribly concerned, as their offense is rarely consistent over the course of a game. There have been too many holes to string together enough hits for a big innings.
I liked the under 7.5 yesterday, but i'm not sold on the under 7.0 today. Fister is making his first start since his DL stint. Beavan does give up hits, and the Tigers hit better vs righty pitchers.
Unless the Mariners are playing a red hot team, or the mariners are playing horribly, I'm not too excited to lay much juice for the pleasure of fading the mariners. They lost 4 games in Tampa by a total of 5 runs. Make no mistake, Tampa is the better team, but the mariners hung with them to a large degree.
Until the mariners young players fade away under the pressure of a 162 game season, or until the advance scouts figure out how to pitch to everyone, they tend to be playable as heavy dogs, and fade material as heavy favorites, assuming you have a reasonably close matchup on the mound. Felix vs Marquis isn't reasonable, yet that game was scoreless in the 6th inning.
looking at tonight, I'm not finding an angle yet to sink my teeth into, could be the Tigers Team Over, if I can find reason to think Beavan will struggle, I'm hesitant to back a game over unless I can project both pitchers to have a decent chance of blowing up.
Havent researched the Tigers pen much yet, not have I found out what kind of pitch count Fister is on.
We;ll see . . .
