This is a 6* play on the Detroit Tigers.

Jeff Samardzija (5-4, 4.53 ERA) gets the call for the visitors; I've played on Samardzija in his last two starts, but think he'll come up short in Detroit today; note that he most recently struck out seven in a 6-2 win over the Twins on Tuesday and while he's certainly looked a lot better of late, note that he's just 3-4 with a 3.31 ERA in all "night" games this season. The home side counters with David Price (7-2, 2.42 ERA) who is coming off a third straight victory, giving up one run on nine hits over 6 2/3's innings vs. the Tribe on Tuesday, walking no one and striking out seven; note that he's given up just four runs over his last four starts spanning 29 2/3's innings of work. I look for Samardzija's inconsistencies to once again raise their ugly head and for Price and the TIGERS to take full advantage, lay the price with confidence.
