The Rangers turn to a rookie hurler today in Jack Leiter, but Kenta Maeda of the Tigers might be the more nervous pitcher in this afternoon's matchup. Corey Seager is a big reason why, as our MLB betting picks explain.
Maeda’s off to a wonky start in his first season with Detroit. He’s got a 6.00 ERA and has given up 14 hits and four homers across three starts and 15 innings. While he can be a tricky pitcher to hit for some with his splitter, Seager matches up well. Now, if Maeda goes to his second-most frequent pitch, that’s even better for Seager. Maeda uses his four-seamer 24.9% of the time, and Seager smashed it last season to the tune of a .306 average and .619 SLG.
While Texas is first in the AL West, it’s just 10-9 so far this season with Detroit right on pace with the Rangers at 10-8.
