00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Let's keep it moving down the list we go
00:04 because an interesting one is popping up here.
00:06 Number one, because the Chicago Cubs need a victory
00:09 over the Detroit Tigers.
00:10 They need to stay in that wild card race,
00:12 but also the Tigers not playing for much,
00:14 but they got, I guess their ace on the mound technically
00:16 and Tariq Scuple, a minus 120 price.
00:18 So their favorite over the Chicago Cubs
00:20 in Jamison Tyone and a total of eight here.
00:23 Now, granted as we know, Detroit not playing for much,
00:26 but baseball is an individualistic sport
00:28 where pitchers still care about their ERA
00:30 and their strikeout rate.
00:31 And also batters still care about their batting average,
00:34 home runs and RBIs being knocked in.
00:36 Any thoughts on the Cubs and the Tigers at one o'clock?
00:40 - Yeah, absolutely.
00:41 And the reason why the Tigers are a favorite
00:44 is because Tariq Scuple has allowed as many earned runs
00:47 at home this year as you and I have.
00:49 That would be zero. - That's crazy.
00:50 - He has not been able, he's not given up
00:52 and he's given up one run,
00:53 but zero earned runs in this game here.
00:55 I love the Tigers in the first five money line here.
00:58 I think you get a very good price out of it.
00:59 You want a same game parlay here
01:01 that I can put together.
01:02 It's the Tigers money line overall.
01:04 Tigers over three and a half runs
01:06 and Tariq Scuple the starter
01:07 actually under six and a half Ks here.
01:09 The Cubs aren't a high strikeout team
01:10 and Scuple necessarily isn't a high strikeout rate pitcher.
01:13 His numbers are a little bit skewed
01:14 just because he's only made eight starts for them at home.
01:17 But also during day games this year,
01:19 Scuple is a three and O with a 1.80 ERA
01:24 in five day game starts.
01:25 So give me the Tigers first five money line today.
01:28 He's that he, and you're right.
01:29 He's been absolutely incredible here.
01:30 Take a look at the last 30 days, 104 batters he's faced.
01:33 Now keep in mind, he's a left-handed pitcher.
01:35 So typically you'd say, okay,
01:36 maybe right-handed batters can get the best of them.
01:38 On the season, a 104 ISO power number.
01:41 In the last 30 days, an 063.
01:44 Line up against left-handed pitching
01:45 or batters forget about it as well.
01:47 He's got an 080 ISO and a weighted on base percentage
01:50 of 262 over the past 30 days in major league baseball.
01:54 If there's one guy that can certainly hold the Cubs down,
01:56 it's probably going to be Scuple.
01:57 Keep in mind against right-handed pitching,
01:59 the Cubs are absolutely raking.
02:00 It's a little bit of more of a mixed bag here
02:03 over the past month against left-handed pitching.
02:05 So we'll see how that one actually turns out there.
