At 7:05 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees ‘over’ the total. It’s been another lost season for Detroit righthander Jeremy Bonderman. Bonderman, who’s never had an ERA under four runs for a season, is in the midst of another losing campaign (6-8) as despite making adjustments to his delivery and adding new pitches, the 27-year-old is only 6-8 with an ugly 5.16 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through his first 24 starts of the season. The good news for Bonderman is that even though his career record against the Yanks is - not surprisingly - abysmal at 3-8 with a 5.29 ERA, he has a realistic chance of picking up a win tonight because he will be going up against the bottom of the Yankee rotation which right now means 28 year-old righthander and spot starter Dustin Moseley. Moseley has done just enough to keep himself in the rotation until veteran southpaw Andy Pettitte comes back. That means that Moseley has been barely serviceable at 2-2 with a 4.41 ERA in four starts so far. He may be 1-0 against the Tigers in his career, but he also has a 4.85 ERA against them in 13 innings. Six of the eight games that Moseley has appeared in for the Yanks this season have gone a total of 10 or more runs. Take the ‘over.’ As always, good luck…Al McMordie.
