The Detroit Tigers came to life late in Tuesday's contest, but their sudden explosion in the bottom of the ninth was enough to clinch a 3-2 win. They've now won five on the trot, and I think they'll complete the sweep of this three-game series Wednesday afternoon.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Blue Jays hand the ball to R.A. Dickey (3-6, 4.21 ERA). You rarely know what kind of performance you'll get from the knuckleballer, but he has struggled with his command all season and has issued nine walks in his last two starts alone. Dickey has an ERA of 4.30 in 12 career starts against Detroit which counters with Jordan Zimmermann (8-2, 2.58). The Tigers' ace has proven himself well worthy of the big contract he was given in the summer and he'll come in rested after missing his previous outing with a mild groin strain, something that should not bother him today.

2. Toronto's Bullpen - The Jays bullpen cost them the game last night, and that was far from the first time this season. The Toronto relievers have been tagged with 15 losses this season, tied for the worst mark with the Reds.

3. X-Factor - The Tigers rise to the occasion home at Comerica Park and have won 11 of their past 12 games when hosting a team with a winning road record.

Selection: This is a play on the Detroit Tigers (8*)
