The Tigers beat the Pirates 7-3 Tuesday, cashing as -192 home favorites with the Over (8) hitting. SP Casey Mize earned the win (6 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 0 B, 4 K), improving to 7-2. SS Javier Báez went 3-for-4 with 2 home runs, while RF Wenceel Pérez added a homer and drove in 3 runs.

Among all MLB pitchers, he ranks in the 92nd percentile or better in expected ERA, average exit velocity, chase rate, whiff rate, strikeout rate, and walk rate. Simply put, he's one of the best pitchers in baseball, and he should carve up the poor Pittsburgh Pirates today.

Rain wiped out Wednesday's scheduled Tarik Skubal start for the Detroit Tigers against the Pittsburgh Pirates, creating a split Thursday doubleheader.
