FanDuel. Casey Mize has looked fantastic so far this season. He’s notched six strikeouts in each of his first two starts while shutting down both the Mariners and Yankees offenses. He was dominant this Spring as well (25 strikeouts in 19 innings). Not traditionally a strikeout pitcher on the big league level, the former first overall pick changed his pitch mix this offseason, which includes increased usage of a devastating split/finger changeup. And the Twins started five lefties today, making this a great spot for Mize to unleash his new weapon.

Forgive us, but it seems very dubious to make the Twins even a small favorite these days...especially on Sunday. Dubious because Minnesota is spinning its wheels at 4-11 while the Tigers are on the verge of a series sweep after posting a 9-2 mark their last elven games. Dubious because Twins starter Simeon Woods Richardson has a 5.59 ERA and 1.86 WHIP thru two starts. Dubious because Minnesota was blanked 4-0 on Saturday, managing all of four hits. Dubious because Detroit starter Casey Mize has won both of his starts while posting an 0.77 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. So why aren't the Tigers favored? Play Tigers on Money Line

Could it be that Casey Mize, once looked at as the potential jewel in a rebuilt Tigers rotation, is finally putting it all together? Could it be that, now that Tarik Skubal has won a Cy Young, Jack Flaherty solidly behind him, and Jackson Jobe a potential Rookie of the Year, that Mize is making his last stand with the pressure off? The Twinkies are 6-9 on the RL and 25th in MLB with a .600 OPS. They have had their issues in the field as well. The Tigers have superior situational hitters and far superior bullpen. Simeon Woods Richardson is allowing a ridiculous 24% barrel rate (bottom 3%) and can't get any ground balls.;12th percentile in pitching run value.
