The Tigers are a team that is already looking towards next year. However, the Tigers are 20 games under the five hundred mark on the year and are one of the first teams to lock in the fact that they are going to be under the five hundred mark this year overall as the Tigers have lost their 82nd game on the year already and only picked up a total of 36 wins.
The Rays are a team that is looking to try to track down the Yankees. However, sitting 9.5 games back the Rays will be hard pressed to make up the difference in the standings and what is even worse the Rays are going to have to battle for a Wild Card berth on the year as well. That is coming from a team that was well over the five hundred mark earlier this year and looked like they were running away with the AL East. Drew VerHagen is the pitcher the Tigers are putting on the mound in this game. He has posted a 2-2 record and a 8.03 ERA. He is fairly young on the year with 24.2 innings pitched this year and has struck out only 20 batters, while walking 15 and giving up 35 hits but has allowed 5 homers.
Ryan Yarbrough is the pitcher the Rays are planning on countering in this game with. Yarbrough has ended up posting a 11-3 record and a 3.56 ERA on the year. He has thrown a total of 98.2 innings this season while striking out only 78 batters while walking 13 and giving up 76 hits, but with all of his innings pitched he has allowed only 9 homers.
Betting Trends for vs
The Rays are trying to track down the Yankees in this game here, but the problem is the Yankees are a very strong team with a great offense. The Tigers are just trying to look like a team that is able to play decent and put up a fairly good game in this game here, but with VerHagen on the mound it will be very difficult for the Tigers to be competitive in this game as VerHagen gives up way to many hits. Final Score, Tampa Bay Rays win 9-2.
