Jim Leyland and the Detroit Tigers Are Reeling....The Chicago White Sox are looking to put the knockout punch on the Detroit Tigers and their playoff hopes. The Detroit Tigers have been flirting with disaster all season. Opening the year as preseason favorites to contend for the AL pennant, they stumbled out of the gate with an 0-7 record. But then eventually bounced back to challenge the White Sox for the top spot in the AL Central. RHP Dontrelle Willis joined the Detroit Tigers pitching staff to give the Tigers starting rotation a boost. But then Willis allowed 8 Earned Runs, 5 Walks, and 2 Home Runs in 1.1 innings pitched to the Cleveland Indians. 1 day later, Dontrelle was sent to Single A Lakeland of the South Altlantic League. It's been an up and down year for the Detroit Tigers. But now, with the Tigers 1 game below .500 and losers of three straight to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays -- the Chicago White Sox look to help put the Detroit Tigers out of their misery in a three-game series that opens today at US Cellular Field. The White Sox are stewing after the Royals poured it on in a 14-3 route this past Sunday that was highlited by an inside pitch on Royals catcher Miguel Olivio which incited a bench clearing brawl. The Sox lost their cool last Sunday and they also lost sole possesion of the 1st place lead in the AL Central. And there is no doubt in my mind that if Detroit Tigers pitcher Nate Robertson (6-8 W-L, 6.06 ERA) comes out with another poor effort on the road Take Chicago White Sox -1.5 (+135) vs Detroit Tigers Article Tags: Detroit Tigers Source: Free Articles from ArticlesFactory.com
