Tigers continue battles with Ohio teams
Justin Verlander is scheduled to pitch Saturday against the Reds. |
It's a rematch of the 1940 World Series, not that many Tigers or Reds fans remember Cincinnati's seven-game victory over Hank Greenberg, Rudy York and Detroit.
Rick Porcello, Justin Verlander and Drew Smyly are manager Jim Leyland's probable pitchers for the series.
Porcello is 6-3 in interleague decisions; Verlander has a personal three-game losing streak he'd like to squelch and Smyly will face the Reds in a Sunday night match-up.
Cincinnati is expected to counter with a trio of right-handers: Bronson Arroyo, Homer Bailey and Mat Latos. Arroyo has a 3.91 ERA; Bailey and Latos check in with ERAs over 4.00.
