Is Garrett Olson ready for the wrath of the Tigers offense?

Garrett Olson is a terrible big league pitcher. No long preview needed. Olson has a FIP of 5.69 (5.13 and 5.90 the last two years), a really low BABIP of .244 (compared to a career average of .322) and has a HR/9 ratio of 1.81. Its time to make an opposing pitcher get embarrassed and he is a prime candidate. Thames and Cabrera might be playing some long ball tonight, and its time to tee off on a pitcher for 7 to 8 runs and win in a runaway. Enough is enough.

The Golden Boy is going tonight, looking to bounce back from two poor outings. Seattle has a below average offense, so this might be a good start to get Porcello going again.
