The Tigers rank 8^th in the ACC with a .282/.387/.482 and 76 HRs. Their pitching staff is ranked 7^th in the ACC with a 4.45 ERA, .254 opponents average, 1.43 WHIP.

Projected Rotation

The Tigers, much like the Jackets, list two of their three starters this weekend as TBD. The only listed match up is the Friday one. I listed the most recent weekend rotation.

Friday: Mack Anglin RHP – 4-4 3.62 ERA 55 K 38 BB 1.46 WHIP

Saturday: Geoffrey Gilbert LHP – 3-2 6.75 ERA 39 K 12 BB 1.34 WHIP

Sunday: Billy Barlow RHP – 1-2 5.17 ERA 41 K 17 BB 1.45 WHIP

Conclusion

This should be a series the Jackets can win. The pitching will have to throw like they did in the series win over Miami and the bats will have to show up.
