00:00The Detroit Tigers squaring off against the Kansas City Royals and the Royals looking

00:09to rumble but they are going to be up against it this afternoon.

00:12Tarek Skuble toes the slab here for the Tigers like a nice win last night 3 to 1 and it certainly

00:18looks like the starting pitching has to be in their favor at minus 148 on the money line

00:23today Donnie.

00:24I think it is too and if we also take a look at these both of these pitchers they are quality

00:28pitchers I have 27 pitchers lined up on the card today last 60 days minimum of 20 innings

00:34pitched over those 60 days and if we look at Tarek Skuble comes in number 4 but how

00:38about this Alec Marsh comes in at number 9 so we do have 2 top 10 pitchers on the card

00:42going at it but let's also focus on the hitting as well.

00:46Look at Tarek Skuble on the year of sensational 710 batters he has faced a 116 iso and a 255

00:53weighted on base percentage against that is a Cy Young pitcher right there he is going

00:56to win that last 30 days equally impressive a 105 iso and a weighted on base percentage

01:01of 275 he has been phenomenal both against left handed batters and right handed batters

01:06good luck tonight with that lineup for the Kansas City Royals who does have some success

01:10against lefties but this is your normal left handed pitcher on the mound here is where

01:14the game I think is going to be won Alec Marsh is on the mound as I told you quality pitcher

01:18his last 60 days dubs 30 and 2 thirds innings pitched and how about this a 3.82 x5 number

01:24which is very manageable he is dominant as a right handed pitcher against right handed

01:28batters having said that he does struggle against left handed batters particularly over

01:33the past 30 days 47 batters he has faced an iso of 366 against and a weighted on base

01:39percentage of 444 so if you look at that Detroit Tigers lineup here take a look at how many

01:44left handed batters are going to have on the card tonight Meadows Carpenter Green Keith

01:49Jung Sweeney seven excuse me six out of the nine batters to be left handed tonight I think

01:56you have the better pitcher on the mound here for Detroit and the better lineup here for

02:00Detroit as they're only one and a half games back of that wild card spot they pick up another

02:05victory today could the Tigers make the playoffs they're certainly going to make a run here.
