Dylan Rockford played Detroit –115 behind rookie Jackson Jobe, who owns a 2.61 ERA at home. He noted the Giants’ road struggles (.208 team average) and that they are 1-3 in Landon Rupp’s last four road starts, with Rupp giving up 2+ runs in six of seven away. Rockford believes Detroit is undervalued in this matchup.

Guy Boston circled Jackson Jobe as the daily betting centerpiece in Coors. Jobe relies on a slider nearly 40 % of the time, and Boston stressed that Colorado owns a bottom-five run value against that pitch type. Even with the altitude risk, Boston trusts the matchup enough to lay –118 on Detroit –0.5 in the first five innings, noting the Tigers hold a clear SP edge over rookie Chase Dollander. Boston added Jobe’s strikeout prop—Over 4.5 at plus money—as a correlated play, reasoning that the Rockies’ projected lineup strikes out 25 % versus right-handed sliders and whiffed 11 times against another slider-heavy arm two nights ago. Jobe’s surface stats (3.38 ERA) look merely decent, but Boston pointed out his 14 % swinging-strike rate in three road starts and believes five punch-outs is a median outcome if the breaking ball is sharp. He recommends a half-unit on the F5 run line and a quarter-unit on the K prop, projecting Detroit up 3-1 through five with Jobe racking up 5–6 strikeouts.

Razzle said Jackson Jobe is a fringe GPP option at Coors Field and would slot him behind Simeon Woods Richardson in his pitching pool. Jobe’s appeal is the big-time stuff—upper-90s fastball and a prospect pedigree that could lead to strikeout upside even in the altitude. Razzle noted that Colorado’s projected reverse-split tendencies matter; if Bud Black loads the lineup with left-handed bats, Jobe’s cutter/slider combination actually profiles better and he would move up a tier. Even so, the analyst worries about trusting any rookie right-hander in Coors, pointing out that Jobe has yet to work deep in games and the Tigers are modest road underdogs, limiting win equity. Bottom line: do not roster him in cash games and only consider him in tournaments if the Rockies roll out at least six lefties.

Kenny G leaned to Detroit despite the –175 price, citing a mismatch in every phase. Rookie Jackson Jobe owns a 3.38 ERA and has yet to allow more than three earned in any start; he now draws MLB’s worst offense—Colorado ranks dead-last in runs, batting average, and OBP and just dropped three straight to San Francisco. Detroit’s lineup, meanwhile, has caught fire with 13-2-9-10 runs in its last four and sits tied for fourth in scoring and fifth in average thanks to hot bats from Kerry Carpenter and Spencer Torkelson. The Tigers’ bullpen has been elite (third-best ERA in baseball), whereas the Rockies’ pen, while improved to 3.88, is still untrustworthy behind Chase Dollander’s 6.48 ERA. Colorado is an MLB-worst 4-11 at Coors and 22-11-1 to the under, underscoring how little their bats threaten even at altitude. Kenny passed on the 9.5 total but declared Detroit ML a "small but solid" play, projecting the Tigers to control the game from the mound and at the plate.

Trusting Rhythm’s projection model, Adam Pelletier took Jackson Job OVER 3.5 strikeouts. The Royals whiff 25% of the time on the road and 24.5% versus right‑handed pitching away from Kauffman Stadium. Pelletier compared the spot to Thursday’s Kumar Rocker play—another low‑K prospect who still cashed against the same free‑swinging lineup. Job’s plus slider generated a 32% swinging‑strike rate in Triple‑A, and Detroit generally lets its young arms reach 85–90 pitches. With Kansas City much tamer outside its hitter‑friendly park, Pelletier sees four to six punch‑outs as a realistic range and is happy to ride the “robot overlords” recommendation.

Zola flagged Tigers rookie Jackson Jobe as a viable spot start in 10‑team leagues. The former No. 3 overall pick is coming off his first career quality start, blanking Minnesota over six innings, and owns a 3.00 ERA through 15 MLB frames. While the strikeouts (9 K) are light so far, he faces a Royals club averaging the third‑fewest runs per game and ranking bottom‑five in isolated power. Comerica Park’s 12‑mph in‑blowing wind is another plus. Zola expects five to six innings, a WHIP under 1.20, and decent win equity with Detroit a slight home favorite.

Lonte Smith recommended betting Detroit on the road against Minnesota, noting contrasting recent form. Detroit is 7-3 in their last 10 games, including narrowly losing by one run in two contests, and the other loss coming against the Dodgers. Jackson Jobe is 2-0 despite a 5 ERA and some walk issues to clean up; on the other hand, Minnesota has struggled offensively—scoring two runs or fewer in four of their last seven games. Smith also pointed out Chris Paddack's ongoing struggles, giving up nine earned runs to the White Sox in one outing and failing to escape the 4th inning in both starts this year. Smith sees clear pitching and form advantages for the Tigers at the current price.

Chris Welsh endorsed Jackson Jobe as a viable streaming play against an offensively challenged Mariners team. Although he expressed minor concerns about Jobe's penchant to throw early strikes, Welsh praised his repertoire and suggested Jobe's solid stuff could lead to a decent fantasy outing in Seattle. Welsh particularly emphasized Seattle's notably poor early-season offensive production as further justification for confidently deploying Jobe in fantasy lineups.

Dylan Rockford sees Detroit Tigers with young starter Jackson Jobe as strong underdog betting value around even money against Seattle's Emerson Hancock. Dylan highlighted excitement about Jobe, considering him a sleeper candidate for Rookie of the Year, and expects a low-scoring matchup against the struggling Mariners offense. He cited Seattle's ongoing offensive woes, noting their lineup batting just .174 to begin the year and lacking offseason improvements. He doesn't trust Hancock to garner adequate run support in a pitcher-friendly game script, supporting a Tigers win largely backed by Jobe's upside and Seattle's offensive struggles.

Eric Lindquist highlighted Tigers' pitcher Jackson Jobe as a player with tremendous potential, suggesting he will likely become an absolute stud in MLB. Lindquist particularly liked the favorable ballpark conditions for Jobe's debut against a potentially vulnerable starter in Seattle's Emerson Hancock, whom Lindquist is notably down on. Although he recommended observing Jobe's initial starts before aggressive betting, Lindquist's optimism suggests Jobe and Detroit first-five inning bets could represent strong opportunistic plays early in the season.
