Blue Jays (20-20) at Tigers (22-18)
Drabek (2-2) vs. Sherzer (6-0)
Pick: Tigers
*As much as it pains me to say this, I think there's a good chance Sherzer gets rocked tonight. Like most power pitchers, he gets in trouble when he starts to issue the free pass. His strikeout stuff is good enough to minimize your concerns against the Oaklands and the Seattles on the world, but these are the Blue Jays and these fuckers can mash. Not only do they mash, but they're third in the AL in walks, so if Sherzer starts falling behind batters, nobody is going to help him out. The only things saving Sherz here is that this game is not being played in Toronto, but in cavernous Comerica, and Kyle Drabek isn't much better off facing the Tigers lineup.
Fantasy Impact: Goddamn it. Jose Bautista is 4 for 5 lifetime against Sherzer, with a HR, 2 2B and 3 BB. Obviously.
Record: Ohfer. Yeesh.
