 8-17-06 Rangers @ Detroit
The Tigers get the lead in the 6th inning, just to give it back to the Red Sox and lose last night.
For your complimentary selection today, I am releasing the Tigers once again as they will bounce back tonight against Texas.
The Tigers have veteran Kenny Rogers on the mound who is 5-0 at home of late and they face a Rangers team that should be on a high after the huge brawl with the Angels yesterday.
However, they Rangers come back down to earth today as they realize they are still a very inconsistent team and for that reason will continue to fail to make playoffs year in and year out until they develop some sort of consistency to their play.
The Tigers continue to lead the White Sox for the Division title and expect them to keep the lead or increase it for that matter as the White Sox struggle with a lowly Royals at home.
The Rangers send young Volquez on the mound and in his last 5 starts, the Rangers have lost 4 of them whereas Rogers when facing a winning team shows up with an extra effort as he is 4-1 against teams over .500 this year.
Tigers will get back on the right track tonight as they are still one of the hottest teams in baseball winning their last 40 out of 59 games.
