Take "(965) DETROIT TIGERS"

Detroit has a powerful offense and upgraded the infield defense significantly for this season. Miguel Cabrera will play first base after beginning last season as the Tigers' third baseman (he could handle it). 2B Placido Polanco is a sure-handed second baseman, along with SS Adam Everett. Moving Brandon Inge to third base is a terrific move. He reads the ball correctly and quickly off the bat, and rarely is betrayed by his footwork, plus his arm is strong and accurate. New starter Edwin Jackson is off a 14-11 campaign with Tampa, and was eve better on the road (8-5). Toronto doesn't have as strong an offense and starter David Purcey is off a 3-6 season with a 5.54 ERA. The visitors get the win at a great price. Play the Tigers.
