Mike Mussina may be pitching for his job tonight as the Yankees conclude their series at Detroit against the Tigers. Mussina is 8-9 on the season with an ERA of 5.22. He will be opposed by Justin Verlander who is 13-5 and has an ERA of 3.94. Mussina was horrible in his last outing giving up seven runs and seven hits in just 1 2/3 innings against the Angels. "It was just bad from the start, and I don't know why because I felt good warming up,' he said, "That goes in the top five worst games of my career right there. It was just awful. If I could explain it, I would know how to fix it. And right now I don't.” Mussina was terrible in the outing before that against the Tigers where he gave up seven runs and nine hits in five innings. Mussina is 17-6 against Detroit in his career with a 2.70 ERA. SBG Global reports that early betting has the public taking the Tigers at home.

The Tigers held off the Yankees on Sunday 5-4 as Curtis Granderson, Carlos Guillen and Marcus Thames all homered. Granderson’s was a lead off inside-the-park home run. "We knew how much we needed this one,' said Detroit reliever Joel Zumaya, "A big game against the Yankees means a lot of emotion.” Detroit is still 2 1/2 games back of Cleveland for the top spot in the AL Central.
