The Detroit Tigers will play the Pittsburgh Pirates in Game 1 of their series on Tuesday night at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Tigers have started to fall back in the AL Central and they will probably trade at least two pitchers before the deadline on Tuesday afternoon. Pittsburgh started the season playing very well, but they have faded over the last couple of months.

The Detroit Tigers are 47-59 this season and they have lost five of their last six Games. Detroit is coming off of a series loss to Miami, where they lost two out of three Games. The Tigers played well in the first few series after the All-Star break, but they have lost five of their last six to Miami and the Angels. The Detroit pitching staff has a 4.49 ERA, a 1.25 WHIP, and a .246 opponent batting average this season. The Tigers offense has scored 417 runs with a .232 batting average and a .300 on base percentage. Spencer Torkelson is batting .229 with 15 home runs and 59 RBI’s for the Tigers.

The Pittsburgh Pirates ranks 9th in the league for walks this season (360).

Pick

Both of these teams come into this Game with very similar records, but the Tigers have the benefit of playing in the worst division in baseball. Detroit was trying to make a push in the race for the AL Central, but they are now 12 Games under .500 and out of it in my opinion. Detroit is starting Matt Manning, who has pitched well this year, but did allow seven earned runs to the Angels in his last start. Pittsburgh is starting Johan Oviedo, who has allowed 1, 5, 1, 5, and 8 earned runs in his last five starts. I think Manning will bounce back from that poor start against the Angels and I like the Tigers on the road here.

They propose to create a shield of lunar dust to protect the Earth from the Sun

Image
A team of astrophysicists suggests that we could mitigate the effects of global warming by shooting lunar dust into space to shield Earth from sunlight. On a cold winter day, the warmth of the Sun is welcome. However, as humanity emits more and more greenhouse gases, Earth’s atmosphere traps more and more solar energy and is constantly increasing in temperature. One strategy to reverse this trend is to intercept a fraction—between 1 and 2%—of sunlight before it reaches our planet. Now, a study led by the University of Utah explored the potential of using dust to shield sunlight. They analyzed different properties of the dust particles, the amounts and the orbits that would be best suited to shade the Earth. The authors found that launching dust from Earth to a way station at the “Lagrange Point 1” between Earth and the Sun (L1) would be more effective but would require astronomical cost and effort. But there is a more “a...
