RELIEVERS: DET, OAK, CIN, MIA and PIT pens

This week, Detroit, Oakland, Cincinnati, Miami, and Pittsburgh.

Gregory Soto (LHP, DET) seems to be losing his grip as the embattled closer for the Tigers. Nothing has come easy this year. Soto has four saves but he also has a 5.56 xERA and 1.50 WHIP with only a 6% K%-BB%--and worst of all, he has allowed a .455 BA against to left-handers:
