Eric Lindquist recommended betting under 6.5 strikeouts at plus money for Blake Snell versus the Tigers. Despite Snell's strong underlying metrics historically (2.49 xwOBA in previous season), Lindquist pointed out Snell typically struggles in early-season outings. Facing a predominantly left-handed hitting Tigers lineup with key bats like Riley Greene and Kerry Carpenter, who struggle particularly against lefties, Lindquist expects fewer deep at-bats and thus a lower strikeout total from Snell, seeing early-season vulnerability worth exploiting despite Detroit's overall offensive uncertainty.
