MLB Free Premium Play 07/23: Detroit Tigers @ Arizona Diamondbacks

MLB - 925 Detroit Tigers @ 926 Arizona Diamondbacks

(Starting Pitchers: A. Sanchez 
vs. T. Cahill)

***FREE PREMIUM PLAY***

***Early Start***

We watched last night another classic implosion from DET’s bullpen so we are catching them w/ a bounce back mindset for this early contest.

I just have to fade Trevor Cahill in this matchup vs. DET potent lineup… Cahill struggled early in the season = demoted to the bullpen; then he struggled w/ his command in the bullpen = ARI designated him for assignment! Well, he then struggled in the minors by walking 20 batters in 30 1/3 innings! Still, ARI gave him another chance and he was “OK” w/ 3 ER’s allowed and 3/2 K/BB ratio in 5 IP’s of work. The “problem” was that he faced the Cubs – a favorable matchup as CHC is ranked #28 in the league vs. RHP’s (OPS ranks)! Let’s see what he does tonight against this Tigers’ offense...

On the other end, Anibal Sanchez is coming from a strange outing vs. CLE in which he dominated in the first 6 IP’s just to implode in the 7th while giving up 4 ER’s. Nevertheless, his 7/1 K/BB ratio and 1.31 FIP & 1.94 xFIP numbers were good indicators for him. We must also not ignore the fact that CLE is a top 3 ranked team vs. RHP’s, so we have some good signs that Sanchez will bounce back today and be decent against this ARI offense.

I think we have a great pitching edge for DET tonight…we might sweat a bit late in the game w/ DET’s bullpen, but they should have a good lead by then.

Split the wager:

Pick: 2 units (Single Dime Play) on 925 Detroit Tigers ML (w/ A. Sanchez) @ -134 / 1.76 on Betonline
Pick: 1 unit (Single Dime Play) on 925 Detroit Tigers RL-1.5 (w/ A. Sanchez) @ +115 / 2.15 on 5 Dimes
