00:00All right, now let's get to the Motor City. The Tigers a slight home underdog against Tanner Bybee

00:09and the Guardians. Can pitching chaos for the Tigers continue in this set and in this postseason

00:16to earn a spot in the American League Championship Series? Or with Bybee on the bump,

00:21are the Guardians the correctly favored side? Yeah, let's focus on the Detroit Tigers,

00:25who they're throwing out tonight. It's Reese Olsen. You take a look at his last 60 batters

00:28that he's faced over the past month. Great numbers. 111 iso, 277 weighted on base percentage.

00:33But let's break it down a little bit further, Ben. On the season, 266 batters he's faced as

00:38a right-handed pitcher against left-handed batters. A 121 iso on a weighted on base

00:42percentage of 310. In his last 30 days, he's faced 38 batters that were left-handers,

00:46a zero iso, and a weighted on base percentage of 256. You say, why is that important,

00:51Danny? Why are you breaking down the left-hand side? Well, tonight, anticipation for lineup,

00:55Lane Thomas, right-handed batter, that is it. Everybody else will be left-handed batters for

01:00the Cleveland Guardians. So you're going to take a look at Reese Olsen has been phenomenal against

01:04lefties. That might be an advantage. So instead of me actually taking a side or a total, I'm

01:08actually looking more at hit props and RBI props from a Detroit Tigers perspective. Tanner Bybee

01:12struggled with left-handed batters. The first two batters in the lineup today, Meadows and Carpenter,

01:17222 iso, 345 iso back-to-back here. One of those two guys will get an RBI tonight. That's the way

01:22I'm batting this one bet.
