Both teams really need to get hot, especially the Tigers, who are out of the AL Central race and 5.5 games out of the last AL Wild Card slot.
On the other side of the coin the Angels are still in their division, 5 games back of the Astros, and only .5 games out of the final Wild Card slot.
L.A. Angels
The Halos rank 19th in runs scored and in their 4-game skid they only combined for 12 runs before scoring 8 in last night’s win.

The Angels really needed a win last night and they could use a strong outing from tonight’s starter Hector Santiago. However, the All Star this season has been struggling and is 0-3 with a 5.06 ERA in his last 6 outings.
Santiago has been solid in his career facing the Tigers and while he is only 1-3 he has a 1.71 ERA in 6 starts and 7 relief appearances.
Detroit Tigers
The Tigers have the offense ranking 5th in the Majors in runs scored, but only rank 27th in team ERA. They have given up a combined 20 runs in their last 2 games.
Verlander has been pitching well as of late, but has not gotten help from the offense. In his last outing he went 7 innings and only gave up 1 earned run, but got no support and the Tigers lost to the Texas Rangers 2-0.
The Tigers have lost their last 7 home games when Verlander has been on the hill.
