UNDER 9 Tampa Bay Rays/Detroit Tigers:
Excellent pitching matchup tonight at Comerica Park between two teams fighting for the postseason. Tampa Bay will send righty Matt Garza to the mound while the Tigers will counter with Rookie sensation Rick Porcello.

Garza (7-8, 3.44) doesn’t have the win totals he expected coming into the season, but his ERA and strikeouts are still among the best in the league. For whatever reason, he has not received the run support he got last year, especially in the playoffs. He is 0-1 with a 3.99 ERA in his last 5 outings, frustrated by his teams inablity to put up runs.

Porcello (10-8, 4.39) is the favorite to win the American League Rookie of the Year award. He’s been terrific all season and is a big reason the Tigers find themselves 4 games up in the AL Central as we near September. Jim Leyland has already said he’d be careful with the young righty so he has something left for the post season. Porcello is 1-1 with a 3.51 ERA in his last 5 starts.
