00:00How about Cleveland?
00:0190-degree temperatures with the wind blowing out in Cleveland today.
00:05Fantastic stuff.
00:06Detroit's on the mound taking on Cleveland.
00:08959-960 on the rotation.
00:09That's a 141st pitch.
00:10But how about this?
00:11It's Tarek Skubal on the mound wasting that good weather.
00:14We'll see.
00:14Going up against, you know, Williams, a young pitcher looking to find his way in Major League Baseball.
00:187.5 is the total.
00:19Why?
00:20Not really because of Williams because Skubal's on the mound.
00:22But a heavy favorite, Tom, of over a minus 220 price here on the starting pitcher.
00:27And Skubal for the Detroit Tigers.
00:28Is the price too much?
00:29Because when I looked, Tom, at Skubal, his last 60 days, a 51 XFIT minus, a 2 ERA, a 2.13 XFIT number.
00:38How'd he hit this guy?
00:39I don't know if Cleveland does today.
00:41Well, is the price right?
00:43I'm not Bob Barker, but I think the price is right when it comes to Skubal.
00:47But he's having a better year this year than he did last year.
00:50He's allowing fewer home runs this year compared to last year.
00:53His striker rate is at 33.4% compared to last year.
00:56He's walking fewer hitters at 3.4% compared to 4.
01:00Skubal is unbelievable this year.
01:02And when it comes to the Cleveland lineup, I would say they're not scoring a ton.
01:07They're not scoring any runs.
01:09The lineup is awful.
01:11And they're not going to get things going versus a pitcher like Skubal.
01:14Now, we can say that the price may be a little bit prohibitive to bet on Skubal.
01:18And the weather certainly isn't ideal.
01:20But if Cleveland comes out of this game with more than three runs, I'll be shocked.
01:25And that's what the over-under is indicating.
01:26We know we're getting from the Tigers lineup.
01:28That is already out.
01:29Gavin Williams on the other side of the picture that I've – I had high hopes coming in just essentially win his career overall.
01:35But his strikeout rate is lower this year compared to last year.
01:37His walk Raiders higher this year compared to last year.
01:39He's going to have more home runs this year compared to last year.
01:41So, when we're looking at the Tigers lineup overall, you give me any combination of Wiley Green, Colt Keith, Spencer Torrelson, Javi Bias, Trey Sweeney, those are the guys that are going to be doing and hitting.
01:51Those are the guys I like today.
01:52Zach McKinstry, who I had my hit parlay, somehow not in the lineup today.
