The Tigers are looking to make a big run at the playoffs here in late August, and the Angels are looking forward to moving forward with the pieces they have.
I look for the determination of the Tigers to take a big win here against the Angels.
Verlander has looked very good for most of this season, I look for him to make easy work of this Angels lineup. Nolasco has been struggling all season and I see him doing the same against this Tigers lineup.
