Today’s matchup is between the Detroit Tigers (22-31) and the Milwaukee Brewers (28-25). The Tigers have won 3 of their last 5 games & the Brewers have won 3 of their last 5 games.
The Tigers are starting Tyler Alexander (LHP), on the mound who is 0-0 on the season pitching a 4.35 ERA, 4.53 FIP, .326 wOBA, K% of 20.9%, BB% of 5.5%, 89.6 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.35 WHIP in 20.2 innings pitched.
The Brewers are starting Corbin Burnes (RHP), who is 2-4 on the season with a 2.33 ERA, 1.07 FIP, .190 wOBA, K% of 42.5%, BB% of 2.9%, 85.1 MPH average exit velocity, and a 0.65 WHIP in 46.1 innings pitched.
The Tigers are 23rd in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Brewers are 20th.
On the hitting side, the Tigers have a .288 wOBA and a .293 OBP. The Brewers have a .291 wOBA and a .298 OBP. The Tigers have 47 HRs this season while the Brewers have 56 HRs.
Although his record might not show it Corbin Burnes is the truth! Almost a 43 K% and BB of 3% he's a monster on the mound. Considering their relieving pitching is a push and the Brewers are the slightly better hitting team, whenever I get an ace like Burnes on the mound vs Tyler Alexander who is an average pitcher so far I will take those odds. Brewers to win!
