The Indians have had a hard time of late trying to get anything going
versus Verlander, who is 9-1 with a 2.89 ERA in his last 12 starts
against them. He went 3-0 with a 2.86 ERA versus Cleveland in 2011,
striking out 30 and allowing just eight hits in 22 innings.
That 13-11 record vs the Indians Verlander holds really means dick right about now
Not telling anyone to lay -170 but dont let those numbers fool you

Couldn't agree more man. People also keep sticking to this "Tigers can't hit" mantra. They can and they will. It's baseball. They could go out and score 7 runs in the 1st off Masterson today.

I was just saying the same thing in another thread
everyone saying the Tigers cannot hit and cannot push across the runs and they left the bases loaded twice.
To me, thats hitting, not timely hitting but at least they are getting on base. This lineup is to talented to not breakthrough and I think today vs Masterson who they have great numbers with break through
I am on the Tigers TT Over 4

I think you got a solid look at this angle. I'm thinking the same thing too. Here's a little tidbit I read. BOL May
"We're a much better team than this," Leyland said. "We just [need to] go out and play like it. Or hit like it."
How they get to that is the question.
"Obviously, if we knew what the problem was, we'd fix it," Prince Fielder said. "It's not going that way right now."
The Tigers had the bases loaded against the Indians' bullpen in the
seventh and eighth innings Wednesday. The first scoring chance ended
with Miguel Cabrera arguing with umpires and hitting coach Lloyd
McClendon ejected over a 3-0 pitch both felt should've been called a
ball. Instead of a run coming across courtesy of ball four, Cabrera
grounded out to second. The second rally -- a bases-loaded, no-out
opportunity -- ended with the Tigers looking at themselves.
The crucial play in Detroit's half of the eighth was a one-out ground
ball fielded by the first baseman to throw home to try for an out at the
plate. So was the play that scored Cleveland's go-ahead run in the
bottom of the inning.

Whether the bats come to life or not going against the best pitcher in baseball is usually not a good idea. Here is a guy that can go 9 and still throw 100 mph. What does he need to win? On a good day one or two will do it. Not choosing either side but picking Masterson and Cleveland just because the Tribes bats are hotter and they are at home is foolish. In fact, the Tribes perceived home field advantage lowers the odds in favor of Verlander.

What, what are you talking about? You totally confused everything. They were talking about the Detroit bats coming to life.
And if the Indians don't have a great home field advantage, doesn't that raise the odds in Verlanders favor?

Key was actually backing up the point of the thread title saying people shouldnt be taking Indians because of value today due to Verlander could be lights out any day he pitches
