Analysis
It's June 24th so I don't want to get overly dramatic here. But Cleveland needs to win this game on Wednesday afternoon in Chicago. The Guardians, without sluggers Jose Ramirez and Chase DeLauter, have lost three straight games by one run each and now sit one game behind the White Sox in the AL Central. Tanner Bibee has won two of his last three starts for Cleveland and current Chicago hitters are just 6-for-38 against him (.158 batting average). I like the Guardians to win this game something like 4-2 and avoid the three game sweep.Analysis
DraftKings. Jose Soriano has stayed under this outs line in nine of his last 12 outings. While his stuff is electric, he does struggle to stay efficient, needing 3.99 pitches per at bat, and yielding a 12% walk rate (14th percentile). His zone rate of 43.8% is the 12th lowest out of 140 pitchers with 50+ innings this season. The Orioles have the sixth lowest team chase rate, the seventh highest walk rate against righties (10%), and see the third most pitches per plate appearance (4.00). Look for Soriano to struggle with his efficiency today.Analysis
FanDuel. Braxton Ashcraft has cleared this strikeout line in nine of 15 starts. His curveball, which has yielded a 43% whiff rate to lefties while registering 30 strikeouts, has helped Ashcraft develop strong reverse splits. The Pirates righty has a 31% strikeout rate against southpaws, which should bode well against the lefty heavy Mariners. Seattle will likely start at least six lefties tonight, and are a strikeout prone team as is (23.5% K% against righties over the last two weeks). Plus, their bats have gone ice cold, with just a .589 OPS in that same split.Analysis
Ryan Weathers has flashed considerable strikeout upside this year, going over this line in eight of his 14 starts and striking out eight batters last time out. He's been prone to giving up home runs but it looks like the weather and ballpark will play to his advantage here. The Tigers lineup was far better at avoiding strikeouts to lefties last year, and my projection has him over six strikeouts today making this price a good bit of value. With multiple hitters in the projected lineup at 25% or worse for K rate vs. lefties, I'm backing Weathers to hit a 6th today. Taking 7,8,9 as well in a ladder!Analysis
Shohei Ohtani will apparently hit as well tonight and I just think it's so dangerous to let him go more than six as a pitcher in the middle of summer while also hitting. Not to mention, winds are blowing out about 10 mph at Target Field so the Twins might knock him around some anyways. Ohtani hasn't been sharp in his past two on the mound, allowing four runs in each. The model has him at 5.9 innings. Ohtani has topped six once in his past five.Analysis
