The legs, one at a time

Chandler Simpson Under 1.5 Hits (-256)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Tigers host the Rays on August 25th, all eyes should be on Chandler Simpson, particularly when it comes to his hitting. In recent games, Simpson has struggled to find his rhythm at the plate, averaging less than a hit per game. Going against a formidable Rays pitching staff, which boasts an impressive strikeout rate, the odds are stacked against him. Tampa Bay's arms have been especially effective against left-handed hitters—Simpson fits the bill—holding them to a sub-.220 average this season. On top of that, the Tigers' lineup has been up and down, and with the Rays fighting for playoff positioning, you can expect a focused approach on the mound. Given these factors, betting on Simpson to finish with under 1.5 hits feels like a savvy play, as the odds are heavily in favor of a quiet night for the young batter.

Jonathan Aranda Under 1.5 Total Bases (-147)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Tigers prepare to host the Rays, all eyes will be on Jonathan Aranda, but betting under 1.5 total bases for him might be the smart move. Despite some flashes of potential, Aranda has struggled against left-handed pitching, and with Detroit's southpaw on the mound, he could find himself challenged. The Tigers’ pitching staff has been surprisingly effective lately, limiting opponents to just a.225 batting average over the last two weeks. Moreover, Aranda's recent form shows he’s been held to fewer than two total bases in several matchups this month. With the Rays also having a tendency to struggle offensively on the road, particularly in tough environments like Detroit, the stars seem aligned for a quiet night for Aranda. His current trajectory suggests he may fall short of that 1.5 mark, making the under a compelling play this Tuesday.

Chandler Simpson Under 1.5 Total Bases (-172)

As the Tigers gear up to face the Rays on August 25, all eyes will be on Chandler Simpson. While the young talent has flashed potential, he’s been mired in a stretch of inconsistency against right-handed pitching, which Tampa’s starter embodies. The Rays’ bullpen has also been exceptionally solid, ranking among the top in the league in strikeout rate, making it tough for hitters to get on base. Simpson’s recent form shows a troubling trend—he’s managed just a handful of total bases in his last few games, struggling to find gaps against quality arms. With the Tigers facing a potent Rays pitching staff, it’s hard to envision him breaking through for more than a single base. Expect this matchup to play to the under as the Tigers struggle to mount an offensive surge. Bet on Chandler Simpson to stay under 1.5 total bases—his recent performances point toward a quiet night at the plate.
