(ED NOTE: UPDATED at 6:30 pm)
The Tigers are killing me. Jackson pitched well, but had one bad inning and gave up a couple of runs. The problem is the Tigers have not scored their first at bat and have been given us a clinic in hitting into double plays and squandering scoring chances ever since.
They’re down 3-2 with the White Sox batting in the top of the 8th.
Might as well throw out there who we’re on tonight:
Milwaukee -129 over Atlanta. Brewers always worth a look at home, especially with their ace on the mound at a cheap price. I think they bounce back from last night and get the win tonight.
Houston -136 over NY Mets. The Mets are a mess and have one of the biggest money burners of the season. The Astros are just too hot to bet against right now.
Dodgers -168 over Marlins. Dodgers have been the best home team all season. We’re chasing a bit here. They lost last night at home, so we’re betting on them today that it wont happen twice in a row. If we loss, we’ll bet double on them tomorrow that it wont happen three times in a row. The whole point of this progessive chase is to eventually win a Unit when the best home team in baseball finally wins another game at home. Hopefully, it wont take a while. What can go wrong?
Those are the three tonight. Hopefully we have a Tigers comeback in the late innings.

I struggled staying up through the final innings, but it was worth it plucking out a 2-1 record on those three west coast games I played last night. It evened the record at 6-6 for E.P.
Prophets LOVE the Tigers this afternoon with their second ace on the mound in Edwin Jackson. Detroit has been tough to beat at home all season and tough beat anywhere with E.J. pitching. We’ll ride with them this after, laying -143. That’s down from -150 when the line was released last night. I am always happy to be on the side of the Book and not the betting public.
Will I have a play or two tonight? Yes. Book It. But, I wanted to get this post up with just a Tigers pick on it as we’re close to a half hour before first pitch.
I’ll update the post prior to the end of that game.
