Los Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers

Under 8.5 (-120)

A combination of lackluster offense and solid pitching puts the under for the Los Angeles Angels and the Detroit Tigers at the top of the list tonight.

While Eduardo Rodriguez and Griffin Canning might not be household names for pitchers, they have solid underlying metrics that point to the under.

E-Rod has been solid to this point in the year with a 2.69 ERA, 3.42 xERA, 3.57 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA), and 26.8% strikeout rate. That has allowed him to be one of the league's more consistent pitchers and has his name at the top of many teams' trade deadline targets.

For Canning, his 4.52 ERA is nothing to write home about, but both his 4.23 xERA and 3.96 SIERA are better indicators of his actual skill. His 24.8% strikeout rate is certainly very solid, along with a 45.7% ground-ball rate and 51.1% medium-contact rate that help him limit the damage.

It's also a very favorable matchup for Canning because the Tigers' active roster comes in with an 88 wRC+ (28th), .295 wOBA (29th), .136 ISO (28th), and 24.1% strikeout rate (5th) versus right-handed pitchers this season.

Colorado Rockies at Washington Nationals

Over 9.0 (-122)

Another high-scoring game could be on tap tonight between the Colorado Rockies and the Washington Nationals.

We saw 16 runs cross the plate last night, and we could be in for somewhat the same tonight. This stems largely from the fact we have a lack of talent on the mound for both teams, putting each offense in advantageous spots.

For the Rockies, they will have Austin Gomber, a pitcher with a mixed bag of results this season. Of course, half of his starts are at Coors Field, which can skew his stats. However, in just road starts, he still has a 4.65 ERA, and his 5.09 xFIP while on the road this season is actually worse than his 4.74 xFIP at home.

Long story short, while Gomber has many of his starts at Coors Field, he still isn't a good pitcher and lets opposing offenses shine.

For the Nationals, they will have Trevor Williams on the bump, another pitcher who allows too many runs. He owns a 4.38 ERA, 5.17 xERA, and 4.97 SIERA this season, which would suggest his current ERA is slightly overperforming right now.

None of this would suggest the hitters in this matchup will have a difficult time putting the ball in play and piling up the runs.
