00:00But the best record right now in all of the major leagues that still belongs to the Detroit Tigers 37 and 20 for the Tigers as they head to Kansas City this weekend to take on their divisional foes in the Royals.
00:13The lines for game number one Casey Mize and Seth Lugo on the bump for those two sides Mize for Detroit Lugo on the other side for Kansas City and the Tigers and ever so slight now minus 120 money line favorite inside Kaufman Stadium.
00:28Total stands at eight and a half DRS.
00:31Tell us what is the play today in Casey.
00:34Yeah, take a look at Casey Mize on the mound today for the Detroit Tigers.
00:37Good season so far.
00:3891 XFIP minus having an ERA of 2.45 and an XFIP number of 3.72.
00:42Very manageable on all of those.
00:44Seth Lugo doing the mound today for Kansas City.
00:47He's coming in here with a 99 XFIP minus a decent ERA of 3.02 and also a 4.002 XFIP number.
00:56You know me.
00:57I take a look at some of these matchups and you say, all right, Seth Lugo's on the mound.
01:00He has gotten hit around a little bit by left-handed batters this year.
01:04131 lefties that he's faced on the season.
01:06A 205 ISO against and a 334 weighted on base percentage.
01:09You take a look at the last 30 days.
01:11It's similar.
01:12167 ISO, which is slightly less, but also a slightly higher weighted on base percentage of 350.
01:17It's not a big K guy, but you look at that lineup to start.
01:20Kerry Carpenter, left-handed batter against right-handed pitching over the past month.
01:23How about a 365 weighted on base percentage?
01:25Cole Keith, 379.
01:27Riley Green, lefty, also 464.
01:29Wenzel Perez, who is a switch hit of a bat from the left-hand side.
01:32Not a lot of at-bats against righties, but still a 403 weighted on base percentage.
01:36I love those guys with legitimate chances to get RBI.
01:39And also today, 73 degree temperatures, which is nice, and a light wind blowing out to right
01:46field, which could aid some of those batters from the left-hand side.
01:48Casey Mize on the opposite side.
01:50He's got some pretty good numbers, though.
01:51On the season, 189 batters he's faced.
01:54How about a 147 ISO and a weighted on base percentage of 272 against?
01:58Bobby Wood Jr., Vinny Pasquatino, Mikel Garcia, and Kyle Isbell with good numbers.
02:02But the rest of that lineup, a lot to be desired.
02:05Lean here for me on the Detroit Tigers at that slight price of minus 116.
02:09Let's just see if we can get some runs.
02:10The eight is a low number.
02:11Not in love with both lineups, but some good RBI props, possibly, for the left-handed hitters
