MLB Free Pick: Tigers vs Rangers ALCS Game 6 Betting Lines

To say we have run ice cold, during the last week of the 2011 MLB Playoffs, would be like saying Calvin Johnson and the Detroit Lions are off to a white hot start to begin the 2011 NFL season – it’s more than obvious.

We’ve been a bit unlucky, we’ve got turned around on some contests, and we have been sucked in by over-inviting lines on a couple others. All lessons learned as we look to turn our fortunes around with Game 6 of the 2011 MLB ALCS from the Lone Star State.

ALCS Game 6 Tigers vs. Rangers: It’s Do Or Die For Detroit

First pitch for Detroit Tigers vs. Texas Rangers ALCS Game 6 is slated for 8:05 PM ET on Saturday, October 14, 2011, from Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Texas.

A re-match of the Game 2 starting pitchers has RHP Max Scherzer tasked with saving the Tigers season. LHP Derek Holland gets the call, with a trip to the World Series on the line, for Texas. They will both be on a very short leash tonight.

Scherzer pitched a solid six innings in Game 2 as he allowed the Rangers three runs, on six hits, over six innings. Holland wasn’t as impressive as he allowed three runs, on six hits, in just 2.2 innings of work. Neither pitcher was around when the Tiger killer, AKA Nelson Cruz, launched his 11th inning grand slam in what was a series turning 7-3 Texas win.

After scanning the Game 6 ALCS betting lines we found the best prices in the Sportsbook at the TopBet online sports wagering website. Slumping or not, you always need to search out the best odds for every wager you make.

Holland has been leaking a little lately, while Scherzer has been relatively solid for the Tigers. Detroit’s bullpen has had some rest, as have some of their injured veterans. It will be all hands on deck, except for Verlander and Doug Fister, during this contest.

Apart from the 11th inning in Games 2 and 4, this has been a dead even series. Take away the eight extra inning runs, and the Tigers have outscored Texas by a 20-16 count. We see another close one in Arlington tonight.
