Hoskins drives in go-ahead run in 15th

An RBI single by Rhys Hoskins in the top of the 15th inning Tuesday night propelled Philadelphia to a 3-2 victory at Detroit. Hoskins finished the game 2-for-5 with the double, two walks and the RBI. Maikel Franco finished 2-for-4 with a double and two walks. Roman Quinn went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBIs. Jose Alvarez earned the win in relief as he allowed one hit with two strikeouts and one walk over two scoreless innings. Vince Velasquez starts today for the Phillies as he enters with a 2-5 record, 4.70 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with 70 strikeouts over 61 innings pitched.

Tigers fall in 15

Detroit lost by a score of 3-2 in 15 innings at home Tuesday night versus Philadelphia to drop to 30-66 overall and 13-35 at home. Daniel Stumpf took the loss in relief as he gave up one earned run on two hits with no strikeouts or walks over one inning of work. Nicholas Castellanos helped lead the Tigers offense as he finished 2-for-6 with an RBI. Harold Castro went 1-for-7 with two runs scored. Niko Goodrum was 1-for-5 and drew a walk. Jordan Zimmermann gets the start today as he comes in with an 0-7 record, 7.51 ERA and 1.69 WHIP with 40 strikeouts over 56 1/3 innings.

MLB Betting Trends

Philadelphia

The Phillies are 9-3 in their last 12 games versus the AL Central. Philadelphia is 1-5 in its last six Wednesday games.

Detroit

The Tigers are 7-19 in the last 26 Zimmermann starts. Detroit is 1-9 in its last 10 interleague home games.

Prediction:

Friends don't let friends bet on Jordan Zimmermann. Both bullpens will be fatigued here and I'd expect Velasquez to last longer considering he's going up against a much weaker offense. Zimmermann has been dreadful lately and the Philly offense is due for a bust out game. There's a good chance it happens here. I'll jump on almost any line like this against Detroit considering it is only 4-29 in its last 33 home games.
