NHL Best Bets for Tuesday (11/19)
Kenneth Le
Welcome to another Sunday edition of MLB best bets. This afternoon, we’ll take a look into the third game of a weekend series between the San Diego Padres and Detroit Tigers.
San Diego Padres @ Detroit Tigers
Veteran right-hander Joe Musgrove will be taking the mound for the Friars as they look to complete a three-game sweep on the road in Detroit. After a shaky start to the season, Musgrove has been dazzling for the Padres over the past month and a half. Musgrove has recorded a win in six of his last seven starts and enters with a 9-2 record with a 3.16 ERA. Of his last seven starts, Musgrove had a quality start in each of them. A matchup against the Detroit Tigers sets him up nicely for a chance to extend that streak to eight games.
Best Bets
Joe Musgrove over 6.5 strikeouts (+122, FanDuel Sportsbook) — 1-Unit Wager
Musgrove has racked up at least seven strikeouts in four of his last five starts and his current streak is three games in a row. The Tigers have the fifth-highest strikeout percentage in the MLB against RHP and have seven guys in the lineup this afternoon with above leave average strikeout percentage. We’ll back “Java Joe” to serve a hot cup of punchouts Sunday afternoon.
