The Tigers will counter with Matthew Boyd, whose K/BB rate is significantly less impressive. He has a 1-1 strikeout-to-walk rate through two starts and has yet to make it out of the 5th inning.
On the bright side, he s only allowed four runs and hasn t been taken deep. He s also inducing plenty of soft contact, as his hard-hit rate sits at just 25%.

One look at the Giants lineup and you certainly wouldn t expect them to rank third this season in home runs. But that s where they sit after belting two on Saturday and a pair on Friday.
San Fran raced out to a 6-1 lead in Saturday s loss but faltered down the stretch before losing in 11 innings. It was the second straight 11th-inning loss against the Tigers, and San Fran s third straight defeat overall.

Detroit meanwhile, has won three straight after a 2-9 start. They ve scored seven runs in back-to-back contests, after crossing the plate three times or fewer in nine of their previous 11 outings.
The Tigers are baseball s second-lowest scoring team, while only the Guardians and Nationals have hit fewer home runs. Detroit also strikes out at the league s fourth-highest rate, whiffing 22 times through the first two games of this series.
As a result, make sure to check out Webb s strikeout prop once it s released. Given his strikeout rate to start the season, and the Tigers propensity for whiffing, there could be some serious value to be found.

Detroit s been extremely guilty of slow starts this season. In fact, they ve scored a run in the first inning in only two of their 14 games. No other team has started slower so far, and the matchup with Webb is certainly not favorable in spite of his underwhelming form.
