Los Angeles Angels vs. Detroit Tigers - Jose Soriano vs. Casey Mize (6:40 PM, EST)

Jose Soriano has a great opportunity to strengthen his claim and improve his positioning in the latest Cy Young odds by attacking a Detroit Tigers offense who struggles with making contact.

Under 0.5 Run (-135) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After getting out to a quick lead in the AL Central, the Detroit Tigers have fallen hard back down to reality, sitting 10 games back from first as of writing—a slide that has severely impacted their standing in the latest AL Central odds. Their regression on offense has played a major role in their struggles, ranking below league average in Hit Rate, Runs Scored, RBIs, and in On Base Percentage.

Heading into Wednesday night’s contest against the Los Angeles Angels, the Tigers struggles on offense will be on full display as they face off against Jose Soriano who is averaging an ERA of 2.44 and a WHIP of 1.070. Especially with Soriano capable of avoiding contact while painting the strike zone, generating less than one Hit and more than one Strikeout per inning.

To match Soriano’s hot start, the Tigers are projected to roll out Casey Mize, a productive arm who is averaging an ERA of 2.47, a WHIP of 0.985, and a FIP of 2.52. With the Angels grading out equally as poor in the same previously mentioned offensive metrics, expect Mize to neutralize their bats at the plate and keep a clean sheet in the first inning.

Minnesota Twins vs. Chicago White Sox - Connor Prielipp vs. Davis Martin (7:40 PM, EST)

Negative regression looms large over the Minnesota Twins in their divisional matchup against the Chicago White Sox as they face off against Davis Martin and a defense who excels in coverage.

Under 0.5 Run (-115) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After a brief cold stretch of play, the Minnesota Twins have been able to round back into form, climbing into the top half of the board in Hit Rate and in OPS. Their resurgence on offense helps reduce the amount of negative variance in their contests, making it easier for them to pull away on the scoreboard.

Unfortunately for the Twins, their offense is poised to take a step back against the Chicago White Sox as they battle it out against Davis Martin who is averaging an ERA of 2.04 and a FIP of 2.29. The coverage he receives from his back end will also narrow the width of the Twins gaps in the outfield, surrounding Martin with a group who ranks in the top-15 in Defensive Efficiency.  

On the other side of the field, Connor Prielipp is in a far more favorable position to thrive, exploiting a White Sox offense who resides near the bottom of the board in Hit Rate. With Prielipp generating less than one Hit Against per inning, expect the Twins pitcher to continue to avoid contact and hold the White Sox scoreless in the first inning.
