Expert Picks
The Marlins' bullpen might be in tatters after the team played a third straight one-run game Tuesday. Starter Trevor Rogers (0-6, 6.57) has allowed 12 earned runs in just 5.2 innings over his last two outings. Detroit's Casey Mize, the former No. 1 overall pick, can be a bit untrustworthy on the road but has a 2.65 ERA at home in three starts.
The Marlins have lost all 8 of Trevor Rodgers starts and lost them all by at least 2 runs. In fact. they have lost each of his last 4 starts by at least 5 runs. In those 4 outings he has recorded 49 outs and allowed 17 ER. The Fish have been outscored 63-18 in games he has started. The Tigers have not hit lefties well, but this is no average lefty and I like the power display from Tork lately, with pressure off deeper in lineup. Mize has been good for Detroit and can hold the weak Miami lineup down.
