The Detroit Tigers pounded the Milwaukee Brewers last night 12-1. It was their sixth win in a row and they have won eight of their last ten. They are now 3.5 games behind the Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Indians in the AL central. The Tigers will send Spencer Turnbull to the mound for today's start. This season he is 3-2 and has posted a 2.97 ERA, In his last outing, he went 5.2 innings allowing three hits and zero earned runs against the high output Chicago White Sox offense.

The Brewers had shown signs of putting things together having won five of their last eight after a snapping a four-game losing streak. That was until being bombarded by the Tigers last night. They find themselves five games behind the Cubs in the NL Central. The Brewers will counter with Adrian Houser taking the mound. This season he is 1-3 and has posted a 4.36 ERA. In his last start against the Reds, He allowed four runs on nine hits in four innings.

The Brewers have are hitting just .202 against right-handers. Turnbull has pitched well on the road, giving up five runs in three road starts. The Tigers have scored 33 runs in their last five games. Houser has given up 15 runs in his last four starts. The Tigers pounded out 12 runs last night and I like their bats to stay hot against Houser.

Play on the Detroit Tigers.
