Caesar’s. I know that Reid Detmers is a popular breakout candidate as his underlying metrics suggest that he’s pitched better than his 4.33 ERA would indicate (2.91 xERA). But the fact is, he throws a lot of pitches: 4.08 per plate appearance is 16th highest out of 132 qualifiers. And he’ll face a Guardians lineup that sees the most pitches per plate appearance in baseball, with eight players in today’s lineup above average in the metric. The Guards offense are no slouches against lefties either: seven hitters in the lineup have at least a .340 OBP and 131 wRC+ against lefties this season. Detmers is under this line in 3/4 on the road - today should make it 4/5. I’d bet this to under 16.5.
