Hurray, Hurray . . .I full expected to be on the under tonight, even at the total of 6.5 . . . but quick look at Verlander's career numbers at Safeco Field has me shying away.
In 7 starts in Seattle, Verlander's team has only one 3 times, with 3 of losses coming at the hands of the horrible 2010 and 2008 Seattle Mariners. Maybe it's a focus issue, I don't know Verlander well enough to know one way or the other.
Millwood might be one of those guys that is "due" for some good luck, curretly, 35.1% of his pitching put in play are finding gaps amongst his defenders. Maybe he is over the hill, but I don't think Wedge would have allowe him to complete Spring Training or make the team if he no longer had MLB caliber pitches.
I hate, I mean really hate the mere thought of backing this team versus Verlander. But I can't really endorse an under play, unless I can project Verlander to be his typical A.L. self tonight, and not his typical "seattle" self tonight.
