Nolan Schanuel (LAA) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-175)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Angels host the Tigers on Saturday, keep an eye on Nolan Schanuel and his total bases. The rookie has shown flashes of brilliance, but recent trends suggest he might struggle against Detroit's pitching. The Tigers' starter has been effective in limiting left-handed hitters—like Schanuel—holding them to a mere .220 average this season.
Moreover, Schanuel has hit under 1.5 total bases in six of his last eight games, revealing a concerning dip in production. While he has potential, the matchup doesn’t favor him on this day. With the Angels' lineup struggling to find consistency and the Tigers' pitching staff tightening up, it seems wise to lean towards the Under on Schanuel's total bases. The numbers tell a compelling story: expect a quieter day at the plate for him, as he navigates this challenging matchup.
