    Analysis

    Drew Anderson begins a bullpen game for the Tigers. He went three innings in his first bullpen start and allowed just one hit. Detroit's pen has a 3.09 ERA in August. That's way better than the 7.44 catastrophe going on in Cleveland. The Tigers have won seven of nine, scoring 8+ runs in six of those wins. They can get to an inconsistent Tanner Bibee. Forcing a move to the pen for the 6th inning would be a boost.

    Analysis

    The Pittsburgh Pirates Ronny Simon is getting his fifth straight start of the season. He has had a hit in three of his four starts, and surpassed his combination line in two out of his last three games. The Pirates have dropped five out of their last six, and even with low run production Simon has been in the mix. Take his combination line over against the Marlins.

    Analysis

    The Mariners are a bad team. They are 23-34 on the road and have gone 5-13 since July 20. Bryan Woo is on the mound and he's got a 6.71 ERA on the road this season. Ryan Weathers goes for the Yankees and he has a 0.48 ERA in his last three starts.

    Analysis

    It's a Bryan Woo road start and you know what that means! The Seattle right hander is 1-8 with a 6.71 ERA on the road. Meanwhile, the Yankees have won 4 of Ryan Weathers' last 5 starts. I'll fade the sinking Mariners and back the home Yankees at a fair price.

    Analysis

    When EF Hutton talks, people listen. When Bryan Woo pitches away from Seattle, I pay attention -- and fade him. Wooster is 1-8 with a 6.71 ERA on the road and hasn't been even remotely good in a road start since mid-May. Counterpart Ryan Weathers, meanwhile, is rolling of late. Listed pitchers for sure.
