00:00Let's move it out to Detroit, the Motor City.

00:02Watch out for those Seattle Mariners heading into the stretch right now.

00:04Gilbert taking on Flaherty, 9-13, 9-14, a 1-40 start.

00:08This is a pick-em, Tom, across the board.

00:10This is an eight across the board here.

00:12I know analytics love Logan Gilbert, even if that ERA says elsewhere.

00:16Yeah, the Tigers, I'm on the Tigers today.

00:19It's really that simple.

00:19I think they're a great team.

00:21I don't expect them to get swept by really any team.

00:23Logan Gilbert is awesome.

00:25Jack Flaherty is having an insanely up-and-down season.

00:28I think Jack Flaherty is a really solid pitcher.

00:30He's given up way, way too many home runs.

00:32He goes out there, gives up three home runs,

00:34but he also seemingly gets to seven or eight strikeouts,

00:36and he has a good performance.

00:38It may not be great.

00:39So when we're looking at a strikeout rate at 29%,

00:41but also 1.60 home runs per nine, something has got to change.

00:444.7 ERA, which we don't love,

00:46but a 3.65 XFIP is really solid from Jack Flaherty.

00:51So give me the Tigers, come away with the win,

00:52and I also think we see the under yet again.
