DETROIT -1.5 (-135) 4.5 UNITS 🙂 Power Play 🙂
First Pitch: 7:10 pm est
Listed Pitchers: Verlander / Carrasco
Tigers: Don’t let the numbers from his last outing fool you. Verlander took a one-run game into the eighth inning before a fly ball lost against the roof of the Metrodome for a double helped spring open a five-run Twins rally. Verlander hit 101 mph on his 127th and final pitch of that outing, a Jason Kubel bloop single that brought in two runs and extended Verlander’s winless streak to three consecutive starts. He won’t get an extra day of rest after throwing 128 pitches Saturday, so his pitch count might have to be watched closely.
Indians: Carrasco, three starts into his Major League career, continues to give up big hits at bad times. He allowed five runs (four earned) on eight hits with a walk and three strikeouts over six innings in a loss to the Royals on Sept. 13. Carrasco, a key starting pitching prospect acquired in the Cliff Lee trade, has now given up 15 earned runs in 14 total innings over three starts. He’s been tagged for six home runs, as he’s had trouble getting movement on his fastball.
BOSTON -1.5 (-130) 4 UNITS
First Pitch: 8:10 pm est
Listed Pitchers: Buchholz / Lerew
Red Sox: The wiry right-hander continues to come of age, firing one solid outing after another. Buchholz’s most recent start was a 3-1 victory over the Orioles, in which he gave up five hits and a run over six innings. Though Buchholz was hardly overpowering, striking out one, he found a way to get the job done. Buchholz has eight quality starts. Opponents are hitting .248 against him. Buchholz has pitched just once in his career against the Royals, taking the loss on a day he gave up seven hits and four runs over six innings.
Royals: Lerew was pulled up from Double-A Northwest Arkansas to fill an opening in the rotation, created by arm ailments to Kyle Davies and Dusty Hughes. Lerew went 10-6 with a 4.09 ERA in the Texas League and also was 2-0 with a 0.60 ERA in the playoffs. His Major League experience is 11 games with the Braves in 2005-07 including an 0-2 record in three starts. His last start was against the Red Sox in an Interleague game on May 19, 2007, at Fenway Park. Lerew lasted just two innings and was charged with three runs on five hits including homers by Kevin Youkilis and since-departed Julio Lugo.
