THE HOT CORNER

DAN BEHRINGER REVIEW-JOURNAL, 2-7 (overall record)

Today's best bet: Detroit Tigers (+130) over NEW YORK YANKEES

Tigers ace Justin Verlander (10-4, 3.38 ERA) is worth a look. The American League leader in strikeouts tossed seven scoreless innings against the Yankees on April 27. The Yankees' CC Sabathia (8-6, 3.86) is 1-2 with a 5.59 ERA in three July starts. Some question exists whether the Tigers will go with Verlander or Edwin Jackson, so savvy bettors will list starting pitchers.
