As both teams struggle to break free from sub-.500 slumps, betting odds for this matchup have yet to be settled upon. Given their current standings and recent performances, this game may lean more closely toward being an exciting, low scoring contest due to an impressive pitchers’ duel on hand.
Kenta Maeda (2-4, 6.00 ERA) vs. Chase Silseth (0-1, 6.75 ERA)
Kenta Maeda‘s 2017 has seen him struggle to reestablish himself, posting an ERA and WHIP of 6.00 over 54 innings with 11 homers allowed (compared with his career norm of 4.44), particularly his susceptibility to long balls; yet Maeda should not be undervalued due to his experience and strikeout ability (41 Ks), having proved the ability to effectively manage games when controlling his pitches effectively and using diverse pitches arsenal to keep hitters guessing, an essential attribute in this matchup against Angels lineup which might otherwise provide Tigers much-needed quality starts.
Chase Silseth, however, provides an opposite snapshot with his limited innings pitched this season: 8 with a 6.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. Silseth may only have limited Major League experience; yet he has shown promise with an impressive strikeout rate, fanning 12 batters over those innings. Unfortunately, however, his high ERA and WHIP reflect challenges with pitch command as well as giving up hits – three homers specifically! Silseth will need to adapt quickly to Tigers hitters in order to manage early innings without incurring undue damage. They could attempt to take advantage of his lack of experience, so it will be key for him to establish himself on the mound early.
Tigers’ Offensive and Pitching Overview
The Detroit Tigers hold an overall batting average of .232 with an underwhelming slugging percentage of .376, making up 72 home runs and 320 runs over their campaign to date; their on-base percentage (.298) indicates they could benefit from improving plate discipline. Their pitching staff, with an ERA of 3.81, could provide solid resistance against Angel hitters.
Angels’ Batting Strengths and Pitching Struggles
The Angels narrowly edge out Tigers with their batting average of .235 and superior slugging percentage of .384. Their 82 homers and 307 runs showcase their power hitting, but their higher team ERA of 4.78 and 1.35 indicate significant issues within their pitching rotation.
