PICK: I’m going to take a stab on the Tigers. Manning is doing pretty well right now. He’s got five earned over his last three games in 18.2 innings on 10 hits and six walks. Manning is 1-1 in that time. As for Lynch, he’s got four earned over 9.0 frames in his last two combined starts. I like both guys to flirt with quality outings in a pretty close game here.
