Series of the Sim
vs.
August 26-28
3 Games - at Comerica Park
Why is it important?

Detroit leads the AL Central by .001 over the White Sox. EVERY game counts to them. Minnesota trails Detroit (and Chicago) by 2 games in the AL Central. A series win would keep them in the race. If the "red hot" Tigers sweep this Minnesota may not have enough games left to come back.

Major Injuries:

Detroit: none

Minnesota:  none

Matchup stats:

Detroit .294 BA  5.08 ERA  37-28 home  35-30 away  19-14 1-run
Minn    .282 BA  4.60 ERA  36-29 home  34-31 away  20-19 1-run

Prediction:

Detroit's big hitters (Thome, Alou) will be to much for Minnesota's pitching staff. Expect the Tigers to take the series, with an outside shot at a sweep.

Detroit 2-1

OOBL Insider predicted: Philly 4-2...that "superior pitching staff" took the week off...wished they'd let us known first...
