Prediction

Canning threw six shutout innings in relief of an opener Aug. 22 in Toronto. Six days later in Detroit he struggled with command, allowing five hits, four walks a and three runs in a loss that raised his ERA to 5.19, the second-highest among AL starters. Manager Ron Washington reportedly contemplated using Canning with an opener again, but he'll try to reverse his fortunes against one of baseball's best lineups beginning in the first inning Tuesday. Bobby Miller (2-3, 7.25 ERA) has struggled himself, predicting a high-scoring game.
