Two struggling pitchers on the mound and good hitting weather, yet the total is down to 8.5 with the under favored? Jack Flaherty lasted just 3.1 innings last time out, and allowed a couple home runs, but he still struck out seven batters while allowing eight hits and six runs (3 earned). Even if Flaherty isn't keeping runs off the board, he has potential to grab strikeouts, and he'll see six righties today which is the far better side of his split. Against an Angels lineup that consistently yields strikeouts to opposing righties, Flaherty has potential to crush against a righty heavy order that whiffs at a high rate and is missing one of their toughest bats to punch out. High risk, high upside.

One starting pitcher has an ERA of 5.94 while the other one boasts a 10.61 ERA. This is a true fade of both Jack Flaherty and Grayson Rodriguez, especially with the wind blowing out in Detroit. I'll take my chances that both of these pitchers continue to be torched by opposing batters and we get at least nine runs in this afternoon matinee.
