Rangers vs Tigers Game 4 Odds 2011 ALCS Picks

Rangers vs Tigers Game 4 Odds 2011 ALCS Picks: Home cooking sure proved to be tasty for the (1-2) Detroit Tigers [+110 ML], as they finally got on the board last night against the 2011 ALCS Picks favorites, (2-1) Texas Rangers [-120 ML]. Comerica Park will once again be rocking this afternoon, as Game 4 of this best-of-seven series is set to get underway at 4:20 PM ET (3:20 PM CT) on FOX.

On the hill today for Detroit will be soon-to-be 23-year-old RHP Rick Porcello (2011 Playoffs: 0-1, 4.50 ERA in 8 IP). His opponent, pitching for Ron Washington and the MLB Betting Odds Rangers will be 26-year-old, LHP Matt Harrison (2011 ALDS: 1-0, 4.76 ERA in 5.2 IP). As a direct result of today’s pitching matchup, Game 4 Odds 2011 ALCS Picks experts have set their projected OVER/UNDER line at a total of 9½ runs.

Timely hitting was all the Tigers needed to avoid being swept at the hands of the mighty Rangers. After combining to score 5 runs in the first two games of the 2011 ALCS, Detroit broke out of its shell, posting a five-spot in last night’s Game 3. With a little bit of momentum back on their side, the Tigers look to keep things rolling tonight and even out the series at 2-2.

"We've got to go out there and do our jobs," Miguel Cabrera said. "We've got to go out there, play hard, and try to even the series. If we play good at home, hopefully we win."

For the Rangers, pitching will be on their side today, as their 14-game winner toes the rubber. Texas understands the importance of winning Game 4, with Justin Verlander scheduled to take the ball in the Tigers postseason finale at home. But Washington’s club claims to not be thinking about Thursday’s game. Instead, the AL Central champs will be looking to deliver a damaging blow with a victory over Porcello.

"We're worried about [Wednesday]," said Rangers backstop, Mike Napoli. "We're not worried about when Verlander's pitching or what's going on. They're all tough, they've got a great pitching staff, so we're going to think about [Wednesday]. We're going to go after Porcello, and try to get to him."

My Game 4 Odds 2011 ALCS Picks: I believe this is going to be a long series; perhaps it even goes the distance. Thus, I have to take the Tigers tonight, despite the fact that Texas will have an edge in the pitching department. Just to be safe, I’ll take the Detroit Tigers at +1½ (-155)!
