Avisail Garcia Blasts First Career Home Run: Video
Avisail Garcia’s long three-run home run in the second inning Wednesday looked as if it would propel the Detroit Tigers to another easy win over the Houston Astros and a sweep of the season series between the teams. Instead, Houston immediately rallied against Max Scherzer, then held on late for a 7-5 victory.
But Garcia still enjoyed his moment in the sun, hammering a Dallas Kuechel...
MLB Game Picks - Wednesday: May 15, 2013
I watched the games and the picks with interest last night from my hotel room in Augusta, Maine, where I traveled yesterday for a conference. The beginning of the night really started rather brilliantly. I predicted that Barry Zito was ripe for a clunker. He was. I correctly predicted that if the Yankees could match up CC Sabathia with Felix Hernandez and make it a bullpen game...
2013 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix: May 15, 2013
This Friday, be sure to to enter the “Spring Fling” over at DraftKings. It’s your chance to turn an $11 entry fee into a $20,000 first place prize! Enter here!
It has been a rough week of action for the home team. A series of bad days and poor pitching performances have combined to shut me out. However, that is the beauty of daily fantasy baseball. Today is a new day. If you...
Tribe win streak snapped: Tigers 10 Indians 4
Having won 10 of 11 and fresh off a four game sweep of Oakland, the Tribe headed north to the Motor City looking to stay hot for a weekend series against the AL Central leading Tigers. The Tigers however wanted no part of succumbing to the Indians’ winning ways and thumped the Tribe 10-4 with Max Scherzer getting the win and Corey Kluber picking up the loss.
The Indians jumped...
Tigers pound Tribe, snap win streak
With a 10-4 win in the opener of their weekend series with the Indians on Friday night in Detroit, the Tigers handed Cleveland a sharp dose of reality and snapped the Tribe’s four-game winning streak in the process. Led by starter Max Scherzer and resident Detroit sluggers Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder, the Tigers
Red-hot Scherzer to face off against red-hot Tribe
Coming off another impressive performance last weekend, the Detroit Tigers' Max Scherzer appears to be at the top of his game.
So do the AL Central rival Cleveland Indians, who could become all the more formidable with Michael Bourn back atop their lineup.
Looking to win a fourth consecutive start and stay unbeaten, Scherzer tries to slow down the surging Indians in the opener...
MLB Game Picks - Friday: May 10, 2013
Thursday was a pretty good day. I did not expect the Mets to win. Ryan Vogelsong was winning and then suddenly blew up for the Giants. Dan Haren was not great for the Nationals, but he was better than Doug Fister was. But other than those three picks, all went well. After a two-game slide, the Game of the Day feature came back with a correct pick. After a really tough start, May...
Game 2013.33: Indians at Tigers
Were you disappointed by the short series against the Nationals? I sure was. Sweep the Astros, fall flat against the Washington National Angels (can’t they beat teams that wear red?)…what does that spell? It spells O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D. Until the next bout of euphoria, anyway.
The recently somewhat deflated and first place by a nose Detroit Tigers (19-13) return home following...

Fantasy Stock Watch: Max Scherzer, Matt Moore
The fantasy stock report is a weekly article that will provide insight on particular hitters or pitchers whose stock is either rising or falling based on recent performances. This week we’ll look at a pair of pitchers: Max Scherzer and Matt Moore. You may be surprised which one I believe will be the true fantasy ace in 2013. Bullish: Max ScherzerMax Scherzer is an ace!

Miggy plates 6, Tigers crush Astros
Miguel Cabrera hit two home runs and tied a career with six RBI to lead the Detroit Tigers' 17-2 mauling of the Houston Astros on Saturday night.
Max Scherzer (4-0) won his fourth in a row to begin the season, allowing one run on three hits and striking out eight in eight innings. Detroit has won its first three games against Houston and has won eight of its last nine.
Scherzer...
Game 2013.29: Tigers at Astros
Again it didn’t come easy, but the Tigers are right where they wanted to be, taking the first two games of the four-game series with the struggling Astros, thanks partly to contributions by the slumping Alex Avila and by everyone’s favorite bench donkey, Don Kelly (his working a 1-2 count into a walk ahead of Avila’s home run was one of the subtle plays of the game).
Tonight...
MLB Game Picks - Saturday: May 4, 2013
The month of May has not been kind to this old game picker. For every brilliant pick like A.J. Burnett shutting down the Nationals, there is the Mets beating the Braves because all-world closer, Craig Kimbrel could not save a game. And who would ever expect that the Red Sox, Yankees and Orioles would all be shut out?
The weather has really been frustrating too. The Royals were...
Daily FanDuel Picks: April 30, 2013
Max Scherzer gave me a scare with some early struggles but eventually rebounded to post a more Scherzer-like 10 strikeouts and a win over the Twins. As I suspected, Matt Harvey in a road start, even against the Minnows, was a more challenging win opportunity than most people expected. While most of my offense did almost nothing, Brandon Moss had a banner day slugging two homers and...
Scherzer, Prince Lead Detroit To 4-3 Win Over Twins
WP: Scherzer (3-0) LP: Pelfrey (2-3) S: Benoit (2) DETROIT, Michigan – Max Scherzer finally settled in, and Prince Fielder hit the difference making 3-run home run in the bottom of the 6th to give the Detroit Tigers a 4-3 win in the series opener on Monday night. The Twins took the [...]
Daily FanDuel Picks: April 29, 2013
A 10th place tie netted me -$1 yesterday, but that’s two 50/50 contests and two finishes in the money so far. I’ll stick with the strategy until it proves to be a lesser ROI than the three- and five-team contests. I’m still in the process of exploring the many, many games you can play on FanDuel.Despite disappointing me last time out, today I’m going with Max Scherzer again...
Royals look to end seven-game skid in Detroit
(AP) -- The Kansas City Royals are in an unfamiliar position atop the AL Central and hope to make a big statement against the two-time defending division champions.
That may be difficult in a place that has given them fits lately, though the Detroit Tigers are hardly playing well.

Royals-Tigers game postponed by rain
DETROIT (AP) Now the series between the Royals and Tigers takes on a new level of intrigue.
Wade Davis against Max Scherzer on Wednesday. James Shields against Justin Verlander on Thursday.
Those pitching matchups came about because Kansas City and Detroit were rained out Tuesday night. That was supposed to be the opener of a three-game series between the up-and-coming Royals and...

Get Your Wallets Out, Max Scherzer is Going to Get Pricey.
Tigers fans, you have been blessed by watching several of the growing stars in the game blossom before your eyes over the past several seasons. All of them have yet to get outside of team contract control. Some very tough decisions face the Tigers organization over the next several years.
One of those decisions is Right Handed Pitcher Max Scherzer. You have seen him blossom into...
Max Scherzer and Felix Hernandez Duel In 14-inning K-Fest
The Emerald City was put on notice early on Wednesday night that a wind storm could be emanating from Safeco Field. Why? Felix Hernandez and Max Scherzer were about to lock horns in a strikeout festival that left bats flailing at pitches all night with very little solid contact associated to the efforts.
Game 2 of the series between the visiting Detroit Tigers and the Seattle Mariners...
The Most Epic Game That Didn’t Matter
Last night, the Tigers and Mariners squared off in a mid-week contest in front of 14,981 fans in Seattle, in a game that didn’t begin until 10:00 pm on the east coast. The Tigers are a good baseball team, and are expected to win the AL Central by a significant margin. The Mariners are a less good baseball team, and aren’t expected to be in the playoff race when the year ends...
Rapid React (4/18): Scherzer On Point
Last night, Max Scherzer and Felix Hernandez dueled it out in what turned out to be an epic pitching battle where there were a combined 16 IP, 10 H, 1 ER, 24 K/1 BB. We already knew Hernandez was capable of greatness, but Scherzer has always been held back by his control and home run issues.However, so far this year he has a 40.0 K% (career high) and 5.3 BB% (career low) and despite...
