MLB Baseball Betting Odds - Tigers vs. Indians

It looks like sports betting enthusiasts can start to bet on the stacked Tigers again. Maybe Jim Leyland was right. After starting the season 0 and 7, the Detroit Tigers have suddenly won 5 out of 8 games and 3 in a row. In their last 3 games they have scored 11, 6 and 13 runs respectively. This team has found their batting touch. Of course, that may not help them against the Indians tonight as the Tigers send Justin Verlander to the mound. Verlander has been awful in his 3 starts this season. He’s given up 19 runs and 3 home-runs for a 6.52 ERA. Verlander will need to turn things around against a very cold Indians squad.

How cold? The Indians are 5 and 10 on the season after being within one game of the World Series last year. Their star pitcher, C.C. Sabathia, was dinged for 9 runs in 4 innings in his game versus the Tigers on Wednesday. The Indians send Fausto Carmona to the mound. Carmona was excellent in his first game of the season, but struggled in his second. So far Carmona has an ERA of 2.20.
