JD Bets likes Jonathan Cannon under 4.5 hits allowed prop due to Cleveland Guardians' offensive struggles. Cannon is already three-for-three staying under this hits allowed line in recent outings, even when facing stronger hitting teams like Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels. The Guardians rank dead last in MLB with six hits per game over the last 10 games, suggesting another low-hit performance is likely.

Despite the White Sox's early-season struggles (2-9 start) and poor offensive production, Kenny G saw potential value in betting Chicago at +185 behind 24-year-old Jonathan Cannon. Cannon impressed initially by tossing five shutout innings against the Angels, before struggling somewhat against Detroit. Kenny expects Cannon to perform solidly against Cleveland's limited offense, calling out their overreliance on only two consistent hitters, Steven Kwan and Jose Ramirez. While acknowledging the White Sox struggles and Cleveland pitching strength, Kenny believes Cannon provides enough upside to justify placing a small speculative wager at almost 2-to-1 odds.

Data Skrive suggested Jonathan Cannon as a promising play to beat his relatively modest strikeout line set at 3.5 Ks against the Guardians on April 10. Cannon has consistently averaged 4 strikeouts per start during his first two appearances this season, making the current line appear undervalued.

Eric Lindquist sees Jonathan Cannon offering sneaky strikeout upside tonight facing the Tigers' right-handed heavy lineup. Cannon showed solid ability in his first start, allowing just a .210 expected batting average over 12 batted balls, though he did give up one barrel. Lindquist indicates some concern with Detroit's lefties Kerry Carpenter and Riley Greene, but otherwise expects Cannon to succeed against the righty-dominant Tigers lineup, particularly given the pitcher-friendly environment in Detroit tonight. He suggests Cannon is set to handle the matchup effectively, particularly against right-handed batters.

Mal Bamford advised playing the Chicago White Sox in the first five innings against Detroit, citing Jonathan Cannon's strong track record in first-five inning bets dating back to last season. Cannon pitched well in his previous outing against the Angels (5 innings pitched, 0 earned runs, 4 hits). Bamford highlighted the Tigers' weak offense and believes Cannon can contain them early. He also noted Jack Flaherty pitched adequately against the Dodgers last outing, prompting his recommendation towards a lower-scoring early game and specifically backing Chicago in the first five innings to avoid their unreliable bullpen.

Peter Appel advised betting against Jonathan Cannon, labeling him a clear fade candidate moving forward. Cannon had an unconvincing 2024 season, posting a below-average stat line characterized by low strikeout numbers and mediocrity in limiting walks. Lackluster spring training further highlighted his weaknesses, as he struck out just seven batters in 11.2 innings while surrendering 13 earned runs, walking three, and hitting three batters. Appel also noted Cannon's past early-season struggles—an ERA above 7.00 last April—and questioned the White Sox's continued reliance on him despite poor results in both MLB and Triple-A levels. Appel predicts a rough outing for Cannon against the Angels lineup.

Lonte Smith endorsed betting the White Sox both for the first five innings and full game against the Angels. He underlined Jonathan Cannon's impressive history against the Angels last year—two starts resulting in a 2-0 record, an outstanding 2.00 ERA, and just three hits allowed total. The White Sox, despite last year's struggles, consistently performed well historically against the Angels, winning seven of their last ten meetings, including a 4-game winning streak that carried into the current season. Lonte sees these historical and pitching matchup advantages as compelling reasons for betting on the White Sox, expecting something around a 5-2 White Sox victory.
