Today we will go with the Tigers on the road winners at yesterday's trade deadline against the Indians losers of yesterday's deadline. There is no doubt that Victor Martinez will be missed in Cleveland and it will create a hole in that lineup for sure. Cleveland will send Sowers to the mound on Saturday night and he's coming off probably his best start @ SEA going 7 innings and giving up 4H 0ER. I see him having a let down here as he's 3-10 in his last 13 following a quality start. Sowers has a 6.79ERA in 5 career starts against the Tigers.
Tigers picked up Washburn and he won't be an impact here tonight, but in the near future he will simply make this team better and the bullpen by lengthening games. However, Porcello who has struggled as of late should pitch a quality game vs. the Indians who now have that hole in their lineup without Martinez. In his start on 5/10 vs. Cleveland he went 5IP gave up 5H and 1ER. I expect a similar performance as the Indians are 1-4 in their last 5 vs. a RH starter. Tigers are 10-4 in Porcello's last 14 starts and 9-3 in his last 12 as a favorite. While the Indians are 2-12 in Sowers last 14 starts vs. the AL Central. Take the Tigers here today!
