Sean Burke (1-0, 1.93 ERA) vs. Brant Hurter (6-1, 2.58 ERA)
Although his 1.93 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP in 14 innings is impressive on paper and in game delivery, Chicago White Sox’s Sean Burke has an uphill battle when it comes to the Tigers’ offense. That being said, his limited exposure this season, however, leaves him more or less like an unknown quantity, which may work to his favor. Nevertheless, the consistency and control he has exhibited in the games played so far indicates that the Tiger’s batsmen might have some challenges with him.
With the Tigers, Brant Hurter is the type that has been more of a safe bet. Brokering a 6-1 at a 2.58 earned run average covering 45.1 innings, Hurters’s season has been characterized by being effective and, at the same time efficient. Furthermore, this is how he has approached his task getting 5.1 strikeouts per walk and avoiding home runs making him a tough pitcher to face.
