At 7:40 pm Eastern, my AL Central GOY is on the Detroit Tigers. Throw out the White Sox and the American League Central is wide open. Cleveland is currently on top with KC right behind. Minnesota and Detroit are a little further back but both are well within striking range. The trade deadline is just over two months away. It sounds like a long way but the Tigers understand that need to avoid falling further behind if they want to stay in the race. They'd love to be in position to be "buyers" instead of "sellers." They will start this important series with a victory.

He's been unfortunate with his run support but Olson is one of the hottest pitchers in baseball. He's been consistently excellent and has a 0.47 ERA and 0.526 WHIP in 3 May starts. Last outing saw him go 8 shutout innings but the Tigers ended up losing 1-0. He has a 1.21 ERA his last 6 starts and he's averaging more than 6 innings in those 6 starts. No home runs allowed in 9 straight starts! Wacha gave up one in his last start and he has a 5.74 ERA his past 3 starts. Play on Detroit!
