Detroit Tigers vs. New York Mets (7:10 pm ET, MLBN)
Detroit Tigers will sweat out in Game 3 (7:10 pm ET, MLBN) against New York Mets on Thursday, at Citi Field, New York, to ensure they win at least one game in the series. The Tigers have a 38-32 home, 13-21 away record whereas Mets have a 41-30 away, 26-10 home record. The Mets lead the three game series by 2-0.
Against AL opponents, The Mets look to match a club record for victories in a season. They will try to complete a sweep of the Tigers. With three home games against AL Central-leading Minnesota, The Mets conclude interleague play this weekend.
The big reason for the Mets are 21-7 since a May 21 is the success against the AL. as R.A. Dickey and Francisco Rodriguez combined for a five-hitter, New York showed little signs of slowing Wednesday, beating Detroit 5-0. In New York’s rotation, Hisanori Takahashi (6-2, 3.13 ERA) gets another turn as John Maine struggles with a sore right shoulder. With a 3.15 ERA in six starts, the 35-year-old rookie left-hander is 3-.
Four hits in six innings of a 4-0 road victory against the New York Yankees, Takahashi turned in perhaps his best performance. He has yielded one run over 13 innings while winning his last two and he has improved to 2-0 with a 0.47 ERA in three interleague starts.
The Tigers (38-32) will turn to Armando Galarraga (2-1, 3.32), after losing four straight on the road by a 37-9 margin. Posting a 4.24 ERA while each game has resulted in a win for Detroit, The right-hander has not received a decision in three starts. Surrendering four runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings against Arizona, he did not fare well Friday, though Detroit eventually won 7-5. Galarraga is 0-2 with a 12.15 ERA in two road interleague starts and he will face the Mets for the first time making for a very interesting baseball betting opportunity.
