“Unstoppable Forces: Can Tigers and Brewers Starters Maintain Their Unwavering Dominance in the League?”
It was a 1-1 day yesterday. I should’ve taken the Rays and moved on. Instead, I took two totals and ended up losing one of the games and won the other. At least the Rays did me a favor and cleared the over almost immediately as they destroyed the Red Sox. Boston’s terrible offense continued and might be something that I should hone in on for a team total. I’ll look to try and get some money back here as the Tigers take on the Brewers.
The Tigers are a team that has playoff aspirations. Last season, they seemingly made it by just having their starting pitching carry them all the way here. Tarik Skubal led the way en route to a Cy Young win. Detroit didn’t have much offense last season and really didn’t do much to add to their lack of pop in the offseason. So far, though, the team is 10-6 for the season with a 5-5 road record. To start the year, the offense has actually looked pretty good. They have a .249 batting average with 80 runs scored in 16 games – that puts them at a five run per game average. Unlike the Red Sox, they have been much more consistent with their scoring. Yesterday they did put up 9 runs, so, sure there are some outliers. Jack Flaherty is taking the mound for the Tigers today. He has had a great start to the year. He is 1-0 with a 1.62 ERA, and a 0.96 WHIP. He has not completed six innings yet, but he also hasn’t allowed more than three hits to any opponent in any start. Flaherty has held Brewers hitters to just a .208 average against them.
