Kevin McGonigle (NA) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-156)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Tigers host the Phillies, all eyes will be on Kevin McGonigle, but backing him for over 1.5 total bases might be a stretch. Recently, McGonigle has struggled at the plate, hitting just .217 in his last 15 games. The Phillies face a pitching matchup that could stifle any offensive surge; the Tigers’ starter has been lights out lately, boasting a 2.80 ERA over his last five outings. Detroit's bullpen is equally formidable, ranked in the top five for strikeouts per nine innings.
The Phillies' lineup has also struggled against right-handed pitchers, averaging only .230 in that split this season. With McGonigle’s recent downturn and the tough pitching he's up against, taking the under on his total bases feels like the prudent play. Detroit's home advantage and strong pitching should keep McGonigle from crossing that 1.5 threshold tonight.
