| (MySportsbook) - After their putrid start, the Detroit Tigers have rallied back into the thick of things in the AL Central and can continue to gain ground this evening, when they battle the Chicago White Sox in the second matchup of a three-game series at Comerica Park. Justin Verlander was a big reason for the Tigers slow start out of the gate, as the hard throwing right-hander opened the year with a pathetic 2-9 ledger with an equally poor 5.05 ERA. However, since his last loss back on June 6th, Verlande |

| (MySportsbook) - The Detroit Tigers have a chance to really get back in the AL Central race this weekend, as they begin a three-game set with the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park. Detroit, picked by just about everyone to win the division at the start of the season, stumbled out of the gates, but has clawed its way back and enters tonight's opener a season-high three games above .500 and just 5 1/2 games back of the White Sox.

All season long, the Twins have been able to generate runs with situational hitting and with timely hitting. Consider, |

| (MySportsbook) - Armando Galarraga tries for his first win in six starts this afternoon when the Detroit Tigers try and complete a three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Galarraga was a pleasant surprise for the Tigers in the first half, but the 26-year-old right-hander has fallen on hard times as of late, losing his last two starts. Galarraga was charged with the loss in Baltimore on Friday, as the O's roughed him up for five runs (four earned) and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings. He |
