    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    I'm looking forward to the pitcher's duel, which likely means it will be a slugfest.

    It would be nice to leave Detroit with a split.

    A split would be nice given the circumstances.

    I usually hate when play by play guys spew data on how a player performs against a certain team because it is a mostly useless stat to me.

    However, I wonder what Sale's record against the Tigers is for say the past two years?

    That would be relevant and fun to know.

    JBJ diagnosed with "sprained ligament." That is not good. (Then again, listening to Seattle blow a 6 run lead in the bottom of the 9th was an amusing reminder that baseball has a very very very long season, and no one game, injury, or series is critical).

    U/O must be at 6.5. Considering how both teams have hit in the last 3 games, and that both arms are aces, the thumb rule says U.

    I won't miss this one. It will be a great game, for sure!
