We push, we push but the Tigers are at the end of a West Coast trip and their bats have gone quiet in a three-game skid. Good looking rookie outfielder Wencel Perez landed on the IL yesterday. Giants rookie pitcher Hayden Birdsong is 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA at home.

A quick look at the Tigers lineup and it's no wonder the Detroit offense is struggling to score runs, as the batting order looks particularly non-descript since the trade deadline. Tiger runs are at a premium; just three across the first two games of this weekend set at Oracle Park, and even in the late 4-3 loss at Seattle on Thursday, Detroit scored its runs in just one inning. Keider Montero also can't be trusted on the mound despite his good effort on Tuesday vs. the Mariners; his ERA was 9.86 across his previous four starts. Meanwhile, the surging Giants hope Hayden Birdsong's rough outing in Washington was a blip after posting a 2.97 ERA prior. Play Giants on Run Line
