Logan Gilbert over 17.5 outs (-120)

Line available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Logan Gilbert is coming off the most dominant start of his young season. Against the Texas Rangers, Gilbert had a perfect game going through the 7th inning, including a near-immaculate inning. He can get outs in a hurry and commands the zone. The 6’6″ right-hander is getting ground-ball outs at his highest percentage through 3 seasons and the Tigers’ top-10 groundball rate should help Gilbert to coast through 6 innings today.

Gilbert has gone over this line in 5 of his 7 starts this season and continues to throw 90+ pitches per start. The Tigers rank in the bottom 6 in on-base percentage against right-handed pitchers in the last 3 weeks. The last 3 right-handed pitchers to face off against the Tigers have surpassed 6 innings with ease. Expect a dominant outing from Gilbert, who has an expected ERA of 2.65 this season.

Marcus Stroman over 17.5 outs (-135)

Line available at DarftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Marcus Stroman has been a workhorse for the Chicago Cubs this season. Like Gilbert, he gets a ton of groundball outs that help him get through innings fast. You won’t see him strike out many bats, but it should not be needed today against a Minnesota Twins team seeing around the league average in pitches per at-bat.

Stroman has gone at least 6 innings in all 3 of his road starts this season. The Twins’ form against right-handed pitching is extremely concerning as they’re hitting .177 in the last 3 weeks. During that stretch, 7 of the 11 right-handers have pitched through the 6th inning. It should be no different for Stroman, who is holding hitters to a .196 batting average.
