Anyone else going value city on Minny tonight?

[Chado1]

With this Duensing dude he has only given up 1ER in 14 innings against the Tigers in his career. Not to mention the immense amount of pressure the Tigers will be feeling knowing if they lose again tonight the division is tied. Minny is hotter than anything right now. Verlander has struggles in his career against the Twinkies. This line is a little too inflated IMO...thoughts?

Minny is 12-2 in their last 14 games...

Only losses were to Greinke and Robertson...

Verlander is pretty good. I'll take a shot with him over Duensing!

[garth]

I like the over 8 in that game.

With Verlander starting the Tigers are 5-8 vs Twins losing 3 straight and 7 of last 9 dating back to 2007.

Tigers are 1-4 @ home in those 9 starts.

In those 9 starts his ERA in 6 of the games exceeded 5.

He's 0-3 this season vs Twins. In his lone home start 5 earned runs in 6 innings.

With Verlander on the mound the Tigers are 11-3 at home this season. But only 5-3 in night games.

Tigers are 17-6 at home vs lefties. 10-4 at night vs lefties.

Twins with Duensing starting are 6-2 and 2-1 on the road. On the road he hasn't gone past 5 2/3 innings. If my calculations are correct he has a road ERA of 4.59 vs home ERA of 0.98.

True but they beat up some pretty bad team. Aside from taking 2 of 3 from Tigers at home. Swept Indians at home and Chisox in Chicago.

Home favorite win 64% of games after losing game 1 of doubleheader.

The site I use for pitching splits has him at 4.11 on the road and 2.83 at home. I'm not saying that those splits are accurate and yours aren't, Frank. I didn't actually calculate them myself. Thanks for the stats and splits.

Your stats are correct. My stats might be correct. I should have qualified my stats with Brian Duensing as a starter.

So who do you like frank?

I don't like laying that much juice in any game. If I had to bet the game I'd take the Tigers.
