Are the Tigers worth -170 over any team? Probably not but their "best" pitcher is on the mound in All-Star Michael Lorenzen (maybe the worst All-Star in recent history, though). I would like to think the Kitties have a little pride and avoid the home sweep. If they don't, AJ Hinch should be fired later this afternoon. Oakland will be without a big part of its lineup in center fielder and leadoff hitter Esteury Ruiz after he was hurt Wednesday. Ruiz can cause havoc on the basepaths with his speed and leads MLB with 43 steals. Ruiz had two hits, two RBIs, a run and steal on Wednesday. No. 1 catcher Shea Langeliers, who homered Wednesday, also is out.
