Tigers/Giants 7/2 Preview

Barry Zito comes to town to challenge Max Scherzer. This sounds like a bit of a mis-balanced matchup to me.

Zito is 1-1 with a 4.95 ERA.

Scherzer is 9-2 with a 4.47 ERA.

A few years ago, the Tigers would be shaking in their boots at the thought of Barry Zito coming to Comerica Park. That Barry Zito is long gone. In comes the struggling pitcher who has even spent stints in the bullpen, despite his huge contracts.

Max Scherzer started off red hot, and then hit a little road bump. He's since figured out the problem, and is poised to win number 10 against a struggling world champion Giants team.

Run support is key tonight. The Tigers can't wait until the 9th inning to start a rally. Wilson will not have another bad closing.
