Detroit Tigers @ Toronto Blue Jays

Tigers +220 @ Blue Jays -275; Total 8.5 (BetMGM)

We’re heading to Toronto Wednesday afternoon as we look to stay perfect with our writeups. I’m going to keep this short since this prop is already on the move.

The Tigers had one of the highest strikeout rates against right-handed pitching last year at 24.7%, it’s down slightly in a small sample size in 2023. Overall this season Detroit is tied for the second-highest K% at 26.7%.

Kevin Gausman finished last season with the eighth-highest K% in baseball at 28.3% – which was good enough to rank in the 83rd percentile. The righty’s strikeout percentage is sitting at 27.5 so far this season — with a chase rate in the 93rd percentile.

I’m projecting Kevin Gausman to pitch six-plus innings against the Tigers Wednesday, and he could end up with at least eight K’s if he has that nasty splitter working. As always, be sure to check out FTN’s Prop Shop to grab the best number on the market.
