Game of the Day: Tigers at Yankees

Detroit Tigers at New York Yankees (+123, 9)

The New York Yankees own more than their share of major-league records, and they will set another when they host the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday in the third contest of their four-game series. Scheduled to face Detroit's Justin Verlander, the Yankees will become the first team in history to take on the league's last three Cy Young Award winners in three consecutive games. New York, which trails Toronto by one game for the second wild-card spot in the American League, beat Max Scherzer in the series opener and had David Price on the ropes before blowing a two-run lead Tuesday.

Having assembled an armada in their starting rotation, the Tigers took a step to bolster their struggling bullpen by signing Jim Johnson to a minor-league contract. Johnson posted consecutive 50-save seasons with Baltimore before being traded in the offseason to Oakland, which released him after he posted a dreadful 7.38 ERA and 2.06 WHIP in 38 appearances. Recently acquired reliever Joakim Soria turned in his second straight scoreless effort Tuesday and closer Joe Nathan has picked up four saves while allowing two hits in his last six appearances for Detroit, which owns a 4 1/2-game lead over Kansas City in the AL Central.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, FSN Detroit, YES (New York)

LINE HISTORY: The Yankees opened as +127 home dogs. The total has held at 9.

INJURY REPORT: Tigers - Torii Hunter (Questionable, hand).

POWER RANKINGS: Tigers (-196), Yankees (-151)

WHAT CAPPERS SAY: Detroit's Justin Verlander is no longer a dominant pitcher like he was in previous seasons. It appears the 31-year has lost an edge with a weak 4.66 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in his 23 starts this season. However, it is a bit misleading as Verlander has pitched better in his past eight outings. After allowing a horrendous 14 runs and 20 hits in two starts on June 11th and June 16th, Verlander has actually pitched well since, allowing three runs or less in six of his past eight starts." Steve Merril.


PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers RH Justin Verlander (10-9, 4.66 ERA) vs. Yankees LH Chris Capuano (1-2, 4.50)

Verlander is coming off one of the best starts of his inconsistent season, allowing two runs on eight hits over eight innings in a victory over Colorado. It marked Verlander's longest outing since going eight innings on April 6 and also was only the second start in which he did not walk a batter. Verlander is 5-5 in 15 career starts versus New York but 0-2 with seven homers allowed in 31 innings at the new Yankee Stadium.

Capuano is making his third start since he was acquired in a trade with Colorado following his release from Boston in late June. He took the loss against the Red Sox on Friday, permitting four runs on eight hits over 6 1/3 innings after giving up two runs in six frames against Toronto in his New York debut. Miguel Cabrera is 9-for-23 with four homers and eight RBIs against Capuano while Torii Hunter is 9-for-21.


TRENDS:

* Over is 5-0 in Verlander's last five road starts vs. Yankees.
* Tigers are 0-6 in Verlander's last six road starts vs. Yankees.
* Yankees are 5-16 in their last 21 games as a home underdog.
* Over is 9-4 in umpire Tom Woodring's last 13 games behind home plate.

CONSENSUS: 60.82 percent of wagers are backing the Detroit Tigers.

River City Sharps

We have two teams here tonight that are feeling very different about their current fortunes. The Cubs are fresh off a 6-5 extra innings win on Tuesday night, which featured the major league debut of highly-regarded prospect Jacier Baez. He did nothing to dispel that praise as he hit a home run to win the game for the Cubs. Chicago also has to feel good because they are sending Jake Arrieta (6-2, 2.11) to the mound tonight to be opposed by Colorado's Jordan Lyles (5-1, 3.52) Lyles is making his first start off the DL, which is a reason to play against the Rockies, as well as the fact they have lost five straight games. The Cubs are playing pretty good baseball and have won six of their last eight games. The Cubs are 5-1 in Arrieta's last six starts vs. teams with a losing record and 13-6 in his last 19 starts overall. The Rockies are experiencing a dismal year as evidenced by the fact that they are a dismal 14-40 in their last 54 games as an underdog. We will back the hot team with the hot pitcher here tonight and suggest you do the same! The Sharps say...

10* Texas Rangers +230

This game has the 44-69 Rangers and the 55-59 White Sox. We rode the Rangers to a very easy win as they shut out the Sox. The White Sox just are not hitting and I believe we are getting great plus money here versus the best pitcher in Baseball but if they can't score the Sox can not win. This is Nick Tepesch first start back from DL so expect him to be fresh and motivated to beat his counter part Chris Sale. The public is all over the SOX at 67% take the huge plus money for a winner.
