> 底特律老虎 對上 西雅圖水手 <

比賽時間:AM 10:10

分析文:

Daniel Norris is back from his latest DL stint to try and nail down a stretch drive rotatoon spot for the Tigers. Norris has been a definite tease. His stuff should definitely play at the major league level. He's got swing and miss stuff with a solid four-pitch arsenal, and at just 23 years of age, Norris is still a pitcher with a potentially bright future. The big problem has been health, and that's an issue that's going to have to go away for Norris to succeed. I'm encouraged by his recent rehab starts, particularly a very solid 100-pitch outing in his final go before this recall.

Old pro Wade LeBlanc throws for the Mariners tonight. LeBlanc has been a mildly pleasant surprise for Seattle. He's finesse all the way, with a fast ball that rarely touches 90. I guess it's safe to say that LeBlanc is now the prototypical crafty southpaw who also is versatile enough to work as a starter or out of the pen. I can see LeBlanc creating some frustration for some of the Detroit boppers who seem to prefer facing heat. But there's little question that LeBlanc needs to command his pitches against a lineup like this. If he's off with location, the Tigers will have a real chance to blow him up.

Seattle comes into this battle having won four straight, so it's not what I'd call the ideal spot to try and beat them. But off the very good reviews from the final Norris rehab start, I pretty much made up my mind to try and win with him in his first start back up with the big club, as long as the price was right. Not a problem on that count here, with the game priced in the pick 'em neighborhood. I'll take the Tigers to even up the series with the win this evening.

選取:老虎讓分過盤
