I’ll fade Kenshin Kawakami as the righty continues to struggle for the Atlanta Braves. He is really the one weak link in their rotation, but for whatever reason the Braves have not elected to send him down to the minors yet. Kawakami is WINLESS IN 14 STARTS this year, you heard that right folks. The righty is 0-9 with a 4.78 ERA and 1.460 WHIP this season. No question the wrong team is favored in this one with Kawakami on the bump.

Max Scherzer has been solid of late, going 2-1 with a 3.10 ERA and 1.033 WHIP in his last 3 starts. He has 67 K’s in 73 innings this year, including 24 strikeouts over his last 3 starts totaling 20.1 innings pitched. The Tigers are 43-19 against the money line after scoring 2 runs or less over the last 2 seasons, and after a tough showing last night offensively, I look for Detroit to explode for at least 6 runs in this one. Detroit is 63-29 in their last 92 interleague games, serving as one of the most dominant teams in interleague play over the last few seasons. The Tigers have won 5 of their last 6 meetings with Atlanta. Roll with the Tigers Saturday at a solid price.
