I will be back tomorrow with full analysis of this game, however I want to state one thing for those of you worried about all the runs Detroits Offense put up tonight. 9 of those runs were allowed by Westbrook. Sometimes a pitcher's fastball doesnt cut, and thier curveball doesnt curve and they are just up there throwing batting practice. This is what happened in tonight's game. Cleveland's bull pen came in and gave up just 1 run in 6 innings to this Detroit Offense. However, tomorrow Millwood will pitch into the 7th or 8th inning and the bullpen won't have to work as hard!
Millwood comes into this game without a win on the very young season, but he has pitched VERY well so far and will get the win tomorrow. This game sets up just like the Texas game today. Rogers has been pitching very well, but was also 0-3 however his offense came out strong against Seattle today and he finished things off with a very strong outing.
Come to think of it this game has even more similarites which are just coincidental, but worth mentioning. On Tuesday nights game the Texas offense had 4 solo homeruns, and just about the same number of hits. Tonight they scored 8 runs. In tonights game Cleveland had 3 solo homeruns and just 4 hits, how many will they score tonight. . 5-8 is my guess.
Mike Maroth - Dont let his ERA fool you into thinking this guy is a good pitcher. He has faced Kansas City twice, the first game in which he gave up 5 earned runs in 3.2 innings, and then Minnesota Twice. Both those offenses are nothing special right now and I think you can all agree with me there. Since I have been comparing this game to the texas game, I might as well compare him to Franklin. Both of these pitchers have been overachieving and it will catch up to Maroth the same way it caught up to Franklin last night!! Neither of these pitchers have the stuff to keep pitching the way they have, sooner or later they will get hit and hit HARD. Tonight is Mike's turn.
Ok, I have already gotten into a bit of analysis on this game and I will try to get back tomorrow with a bit more.
One very important reminder. . .This is just a larger then normal play for me, however it is still within strict MM means and I want to emphasize that with everyone else who may follow tonight. I know a lot of people get caught up in phrases like 30 unit GOY or DOCS 40 unit game and things like that, but never should you play out of your bankroll because good games can always lose! Yankees losing to Tampa Bay is a good example. . . (Yes C-LO I know you had TB!!!!!!)
This game has a chance of losing just like anyother game and I dont want anybody losing more then they should on it. However, I feel very confident in this game and I feel that it holds a lot of value especially for the line that we can get it at! Sorry for any grammAr errors in my write-up so far if there are any, its late!!. . .I know Fat Tony is out there watching!!
Good luck to anyone that follows with me! Roxy - Bring me your good luck babe!!
