The best sports handicappers preview tonight’s game in the motor city. Toronto looks to avoid dropping game two of the series, and will send Aaron Laffey to the mound, to face off against Anibal Sanchez at 7:05 EST.

 

Tonight is a tale of two pitchers who have not had good numbers during their last three starts. Laffey has posted a 6.11 era during his last 17 and 2/3 innings, allowing 1.30 runners per inning, while walking 6. Laffey has not faced Detroit since September of 2009

 

Sanchez has an ERA over 8 during his last three starts in just 13.1 innings, with a WHIP of 2.23, walking 5 during that span. Sanchez has started two games versus Toronto during 2012, losing both, allowing 5 runs in 6 innings pitching for the Tigers, and 6 runs in 3.1 innings while pitching for the Marlins.

 

If Toronto wants to salvage a game in this series, it will need to be tonight, as they face Verlander tomorrow.

 

Toronto has dropped 17 of their last 22 games, and 5 of their last 6 in Detroit

 

Detroit is 22-8 during their last 30 games at Comerica, and have won their last 9 games when facing teams under .500

 

During Tom Hallion’s last 8 games behind home plate, 7 of them have gone over.
