Webb’s Master Plan to Outsmart the Tigers Unveiled—Can Anyone Escape the Trap?

The Tigers are having one of the best seasons they’ve had in probably a decade. After making the postseason last year, they didn’t do a ton of changes to the roster. Maybe that’s all they needed. The addition of Gleyber Torres has certainly helped, and the fact that Javier Baez is now actually hitting the ball is making a difference. Overall, the club is hitting .253 which is good for tenth in the league. They do have the fourth-most runs scored in the league, though, which is more surprising than anything. The pitching was always going to be a strength of this team, and they are throwing to a 3.27 ERA for the season. Tonight they send out Jack Flaherty to the hill. Flaherty is just 2-6 with a 4.39 ERA, but he does carry a 1.18 WHIP. He has been better at home, though with a 3.71 ERA compared to a 5.06 road ERA. This has been his worst month of the season with Flaherty allowing 14 earned runs in 21 innings over four starts. Giants hitters have only faced Flaherty 32 times, and are batting .250 against him.
