The Detroit Tigers have won four consecutive games and continue to dominate Game 1 of series with a record of 24-6 this season. Detroit has a record of 14 wins and 15 losses in series Game 2s. Jack Flaherty is allowing a .333 average and .964 OPS in 42 at-bats vs the Tampa Bay Rays, which includes an ugly performance (8 runs in 2.2 IP) against them earlier this season. Ryan Pepiot is holding Detroit to a .182 average and .606 OPS in 55 career at-bats, and Tampa Bay has won three of his last four starts. The Rays are big on analytics and have had great success when facing the same pitcher twice in less than a month.

Junior Caminero has hit 16 of his 21 home runs this season against right-handed pitchers and faces RHP Jack Flaherty, who has struggled mightily of late. Despite Detroit's strong record, Flaherty is just 5-9 and has a 10.50 ERA over his last 4 starts, allowing 5 home runs in that span. This is a favorable matchup for Caminero, and we set his line at +340 to homer.

DraftKings. Jack Flaherty has remained under this line in eleven of his seventeen starts this season, including a 2.1 inning performance against the Rays in June. Tampa should be able to start five to seven lefties (even if Brandon Lowe remains out), which has been Flaherty’s worse split (.788 OPS allowed including a 13.7% walk rate).

Jack Flaherty has been struggling over his previous 4 appearances, including a tough outing against Tampa Bay where he failed to complete 3 IP. The Rays offense has been excellent all season and they rank in the top 5 of nearly every offensive category.

If going against the Tigers these days we're more likely to take our chances when Jack Flaherty is on the mound. Detroit has lost in Flaherty's last four starts in which Jack has been none too impressive, with a 10.50 ERA and 1.94 WHIP. Moreover, Flaherty was destroyed on June 20 in Tampa when allowing eight runs in just 2 1/3 IP of a 14-8 loss. The Rays' Ryan Pepiot has been a better option on the mound lately, and was good enough June 21 vs. Detroit when allowing just one run and three hits in 5 IP of an eventual 8-3 Tampa Bay win. The Rays have also won in three of his last four starts. Play Rays on Money Line
