Really like both of these legs, but the lines were too juicy to take individually. Aaron Nola has hit the 18+ outs line in his last 7 of 9 games and in his last game vs the Giants. The Giants batters that have faced him have a .216 batting average and Nola should make a statement at home today.
For the second leg, Alex Faedo’s outs line is at 14.5 meaningit’s questionable if he’ll even get to the 5 innings needed to record the win. He is facing a Cubs team that have won their last couple of games and he’s only recorded a win on 2 games this season (9 games total). He has a 6.61 ERA at home (5.16 ERA overall) and has only get to 5 IP in 1 of his last 4 home games.
Detroit has also only won 3 games where he’s started and it shouldn’t happen today vs Assad and the Cubs.
