Detroit over Cleveland

6:40 PM EST. Jack Flaherty (RHP - DET) is pitching his way to a life-changing contract after he bet on himself by signing a one-year deal in Detroit for $14 million after a couple of injury-plagued sessions in St. Louis. Flaherty has been the subject of trade rumors of late, but that should only further fuel him to pitch lights out as he looks to both get paid and potentially move to a contender. In his first start back from the break, Flaherty allowed two runs on three hits with just one walk over 5.2 IP vs. Toronto, where he punched out eight Blue Jays. Flaherty generated 17 swings and misses in that turn on 98 pitches (eight of which came from his slider) and posted a solid called and swinging strike rate of 32%. He now has an eye-popping 127 Ks to 17 BBs in 100.2 innings, and it’s only a matter of time before someone backs up the Brinks truck.

Meanwhile, Tanner Bibee (RHP - CLE) got the win in his last start last Friday, but he was not sharp, striking out just three over 5.2 IP. Bibee lives and dies with his slider, and last week it was not at its best, as it was all over the place, inducing just six swings and misses, which matches a season-low for Bibee. It was the third start in a row that Bibee didn’t have his best stuff, as before the break he had two rough outings in which he gave up 8 ER in 11.2 IP while also issuing multiple walks in three straight starts. Bibee is the second-best pitcher in this matchup, which presents us with some tremendous value on the Tigers, who are better than their sub-.500 record would indicate, making them a prime “buy low” candidate.
