Detroit Tigers w/ Fulmer @ Cincinnati Reds w/ Mahle
2** Play on: UNDER the TOTAL
*Abbreviated writeups on Wednesday since the ‘King and Queen’ will be traveling to Ohio. We will be on a LOW-scoring outcome this afternoon in Cincinnati with not one but TWO starting pitchers in ideal current form. Michael Fulmer: 4.13 ERA on the season… but 2.70 in his last three starts… and 1.94 in his DAYTIME starts (which have gone 1-7 O/U on the season!). Tyler Mahle: 3.96 ERA on the season and a 4-9 O/U record in his 13 starts… but also an ERA of 1.10 in his last three starts… and ZERO home runs allowed in his last four starts (21.6 innings pitched). Sealing the deal is the Man in Blue. Behind the dish will be SAM HOLBROOK. He is the #4 UNDER Umpire on there season, with a YTD record of 3-10 O/U. Average combined runs per game: Just 6.2. And already a PERFECT 0-3 O/U in his Interleague games, with an average of only 3.0 combined runs per game.
