Detroit Tigers at San Francisco Giants, Jun 16, 2008 10:15 PM EDT
Justin Verlander (3-9, 4.65) vs. 
Tim Lincecum (8-1, 1.99)
Now that the Tigers have figured out this winning thing at Comerica Park, they travel to California for six games and see if their roll can continue in the Pacific time zone.
First up, the San Francisco Giants, who are currently 10 games under .500 but generally playing better than was expected of them before the season. A big reason for the Giants' success is the pitching of Tim Lincecum, who's been spectacular. He's only allowed two total runs in his last three starts (21 innings), yet only has one win to show for the effort. Lincecum has also thrown 15 consecutive quality starts, going back to last year. Should we mention that he's striking out almost 10 batters per nine innings (9.6)?
Justin Verlander isn't quite on the same kind of streak, but he's never lost in Interleague Play. He's won all seven of his starts, posting a 1.99 ERA and 48 strikeouts in 49 2/3 innings. Verlander is also coming off his best game of the season, a complete game four-hitter vs. the White Sox. Of course, Verlander had the good stuff that night, but he also finally received some overdue run support from his lineup, which had to have helped his confidence.
I don't know if this Vernor's thing is going to work outside of Detroit, especially since I'm not sure if you can find it anywhere in San Francisco. But as you know, ginger ale has been very good to us over the past week.
McCovey Chronicles, a SB Nation institution, has your opposing view for this three-game series. I'm going to try and stay awake for these west coast games, and hope some of you guys are crazy enough to join me in the GameThread.

Agreed....
Probably come down to one big hit or one big mistake. Let’s hope it’s a big hit by our guys. Tough assignnment for JV tonight, though. Lincecum is flithy.

Yeah
Lincecum is nasty, but I am not too afraid of a lineup that has Bengie Molina hitting cleanup…

That featured two power pitchers who were skinnier that Verlander and Lincecum? They both have such electric stuff but neither really look like they throw as hard as they do.

I realize that Lincecum is excellent...
But the Tigers really need to sweep this team. Molina batting cleanup? BENJI Molina? And on Tigers Weekly, Ryan Field said that “The Tigers will travel to beautiful San Francisco to take on Randy Wynn and the Giants.” Randy Wynn? Really? That’s the best that the Giants can come up with?

Is this really an MLB team? Obviously their pitcher is excellent though, so that’s all it takes.

Are these kinds of calls subject to review if MLB adopts instant replay?

He hasn’t pitched since Saturday so I can’t believe he is unavailable. Leyland may want a lower leverage situation to ease him back into.

Ok
I know I’ve been the biggest proponent of the sad reality that Dolsi may be sent down, but let me say here and now I don’t think he should be. Freddy Dolsi has a major league arm and should be pitching the 6th the rest of the year.

Run #5 was put on base by Dolsi
