Simple. Fulmer finally regressed last game after a stellar run. Books think he may have finally hit the wall...
Yea maybe.....but Rodriguez is winless at home with terrible stats been getting rocked all season now favorites vs a Tiger team with hot bats going for the sweep? I'm gonna wait for the morning see what happens overnight, but I'm not overthinking this one. This Fulmer is a stud! He'll bounce back. Only reason Sox are slight favorites is being at home in this one and on the verge of getting swept, but you're getting a terrible pitcher. But as we know terrible pitchers have their "Cy Young" days any given day so from what you're saying this game is it.....I'm not seeing it. Tigers or no play.....
yes, the wall.......I'm looking at the over here

after sucking coming off DL, Eduardo Rodriguez was sent down to Pawtucket to work on his mechanics and pitch tipping. He practiced with the coaches hard and it seemed to have worked, skipper Farrell said "There's been some adjustments made to his hand position...he feels like and looks like he's gained some comfort with the hand position that has been widely talked about. Required and needed adjustments have been made."...so after that they called him back and he's been fine in his two starts since, the hope is he's regained his good form from last season.
Fulmer has been bit lucky (his hit and strand rate, before last start, were not sustainable). He doesn't strike out a lot and tosses a decent number of balls. He's never gone much over 80 innings/season in his pro career - so the thought is that he will tire down the stretch and his peripherals will sharply adjust to expected norm. Probably not today, nor vs CWS or Mets - but on the road vs Seattle and TX in August, I will probably go against him then.
both teams combined for 22 hits last night, and both bullpens are taxed and have problems. Eduardo Rodriguez needs to pitch deep, but you see the few times he's gone 7 innings, he still gave up tons of hits and was fortunate with strand rate. He also has career 7.06 ERA in day, vs 3.23 night. Fulmer has been excellent in his day starts of his rookie campaign.

Great info Terry!! Def considering that OVER now......but, still going to play DET for 1 unit. Think it's worth that. You just can't back Rodriguez until he proves otherwise. I'm sure the work down in minors will help him. Gotta a feeling both SP get no decisions and it's decided by the pens late
Well Tigers got it done! Fulmer pretty solid outing....7.2IP 3ER 0BBs!! Did give up 2 bombs something to keep an eye on
