San Francisco Giants (39-33) vs Detroit Tigers (28-44)
Tuesday, June 28, 2022 at 9:45 pm
At 9:45 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Detroit Tigers. Giants LH, Carlos Rodon, has done very little wrong this season. Outside of an awful game on May 15 at St. Louis, he's allowed just 16 earned runs over 76 1/3 innings, in 13 games. But even with that horrible outing against the Cardinals (3 2/3 innings, eight runs), Rodon's season ERA is an impressive 2.70, with a 1.08 WHIP (without that May 15 game, his numbers for his other 13 starts are 1.53 ERA, 0.99 WHIP). Tonight, Rodon will match-up against Detroit's fellow southpaw, Tarik Skubal, who is 0-3, with a 9.88 ERA and 2.04 WHIP over his last three starts. The Giants are a solid 96-48 (+28.4 net games) vs. losing teams; 54-33 (+18.6 net games) off a loss; and 57-38 (+21.8 net games) vs. lefties. Meanwhile, the Tigers have been profitable this season off a win, but an awful 14-29 (minus 10.6 net games) off a loss. And they're 7-13 (minus 4.6 net games) vs. lefties. Take San Francisco. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
