Back to Back Tigers. I know it sounds lame, but you have to trust our judgment. Look at what it gave you last week. Marcus Thames has been a man possessed. This week we look to the mound at a starter that will log major innings with constant success.
Kenny Rogers has pitched 7 or more innings in his last 5 starts. In that span he has cruised with 1.00 ERA. His control has been sensational as well. His .94 WHIP in that span ranks among the top of the wire.
Rogers is in the same form that led the Tigers to the World Series in 2006. According to utility man Brandon Inge, Rogers' success has hinged on his sinker. And right now, it is on. Inge put it this way, "The only reason he didn't have it together earlier was because he not only didn't have a good sinker, but he wasn't able to spot it. But now that he knows where it's going to end up, he can start it right where someone thinks it's a good pitch and get a groundball."
Rogers had 17 wins in 2006. He is only owned in 3% of ESPN leagues.
