00:00We stay in Detroit, and what are the prices?

00:03A dead-even pick-em tonight for the Tigers and the Sox.

00:06Minus 108 at this very moment, DRS, between these two clubs.

00:11Total stands at 8.5.

00:13Tanner Houck gets the start for Boston.

00:15Jackson Jobe gets the start and the nod for Detroit.

00:19It's a pick-em who wins in the Motor City.

00:22Jobe has the highest X-fip on the card today.

00:24I have those 22 pitchers, so that's all that may be fade material right off the bat.

00:27But also Tanner Houck, 41-1 in the third innings pitch.

00:29How about an ERA of 6.10, but his X-fip is 4.24.

00:33So maybe getting a little bit unlucky there with that ERA.

00:36If you take a look at Jobe, a 4.88 ERA, he's pitching every bit as bad as that ERA.

00:41Why? His X-fip number is a 5.09.

00:44So you focus on Jobe, who's got hit hard from both lefty and righties here.

00:47You take a look at the lineup.

00:48James Duran over the past couple—excuse me, Jaron Duran over the past couple weeks.

00:52A 208 ISO against right-handed pitchers.

00:54You take a look at Rafael Devers, 227.

00:56Alex Bregman here, 384.

00:58Willie Obrey, 270 here.

01:00I like what I see out of the first five batters in that lineup.

01:02And again, Jobe's high X-fip numbers, which means a lot of fly balls, a lot of walks, and a lot of strikeouts, which means traffic on the bases.

01:10Houck hasn't been that great.

01:11And also, there are some really good spots for Detroit tonight in this lineup.

01:14You look at Houck struggling mostly with left-handed batters to the tune of a 247 ISO and a weighted-on-base percentage of 444.

01:20Carpenter's got good numbers.

01:21Cole Keith's got good numbers.

01:23Riley Green's got good numbers in there.

01:24So you got some lefties.

01:25So again, today, 75 degrees.

01:27Wind is blowing in, but warmer temperatures here.

01:29Why can't we get some runs between these two ball clubs?

01:32I'm looking again towards an over here.

01:33So more better vibes today, better hitting conditions, and lineups that make some sense.

01:38What makes the difference between them a little bit?

02:01Let's see.
