So many games to choose from means so many opportunities to cash in on some pristine value, and our analysts are all over it.
Gilbert has proven to be one of the best young right-handers in the majors as he enters with a 3.32 ERA and has a 27.5% strikeout rate.
He’ll enter with a 5.82 ERA, and on top of that, he is in the bottom ten percent of all qualified starters in every expected statistic.
The right-hander has pitched to a ridiculous 48.5% hard-hit rate and 12.4% barrel rate to go along with a .473 xwOBA on contact — all firmly in the bottom-fifth of the league.
His 4.39 xERA tells the story of what’s been a so-so start to the season, and against a Houston team which is fourth in expected wOBA this year and first in wRC+ over the past week he, too, should falter.
Charlie DiSturco: The Los Angeles Angels look to bounce back from last night’s loss and send Reid Detmers to the mound fresh off his no-hit bid of the Tampa Bay Rays.
Despite entering Tuesday night giving up just two runs over his last 10 innings, Hearn’s xERA still sits over a half-run higher than his actual ERA.
That means opponents are making plenty of hard contact and are consistently posing a threat against Hearn.
The Rangers’ offense does see left-handed pitching better, but their offense is not on the level of the Angels, who rank inside the top 10 in wRC+ over the last 14 days.
Cobb may only have a 3.98 ERA, but his xERA is one of the best in baseball at 1.44.
San Fran has a 108 wRC+ against right-handers in May, while the Rockies are one of the worst in the league at 77.
At any rate, the Minnesota Twins have been the fourth-best offense on the road vs RHP over the past two weeks, but they are heading into a poor run scoring environment.
Yes, the A’s are the worst offense at home against RHP over the past couple of weeks, but they are facing Dylan Bundy, who has been hittable on the road so far this season.
There seems to be just enough here to make the Oakland A’s moneyline worth a shot in plus money as the underdogs.
This has been an early stress test for the Dodgers as their pitching staff has a 5.00 ERA over the past seven days.
It’s almost like there’s been a mental switch as Dodgers’ hitters know they need to slug their way to victory, given their pitching woes.
On Tuesday night, the Dodgers will host a Diamondbacks team that’s been a bit of a surprise after opening with a projected win total of just 66 games.
Even with the undefeated Tyler Anderson getting the start for Los Angeles, I think the Arizona lineup will fancy taking their hacks against him.
The total is 5-0-1 to the over in the Dodgers’ past six games, and the Diamondbacks are on a 7-0 run to above as road underdogs.
