F. Valdez ⬆️ 17.5 Outs (-110 @ MGM)(+120 w/ 33% Boost) This doesn't look as cut and dry and the trends would tell you. Playoff baseball is a different beast and in a short series the hook can come out a lot quicker. You gotta like this spot for Framber though, who has been hot to close out the season and facing a weak and inexperienced playoff offense in game 1. Framber owns a 1.73 ERA in September and he faces an offense that ranks 25th in OPS vs LHP over L30. Not to mention Framber had always been better at home: 2024 Home ERA: 2.53 2024 Home WHIP: 1.05 2024 Away ERA: 3.36 2024 Away WHIP: 1.17 What you have to love about Framber is he's a good situational pitcher that can be efficient with his pitch count. Need a ground ball for a double play? He'll pitch for that. Need a K? He'll pitch for that. This Tigers team also hasn't been in the playoffs since 2014 🤯. A majority of their roster does not have any playoff experience, so a slow start to the series and nerves can be expected. Framber has always performed well against DET too. Here are his last 3 starts against them saying back to last season: 5/10: 7 IP, 6 HA, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K's 8/25/23: 7 IP, 0 HA, 0 ER, 5 BB, 6 K's 4/4/24: 7 IP, 8 HA, 2 ER, 1 BB, 9 K's So he's gone 7 in all of those outings and generally pitched well. This is not a gimme given the situation, but I still think there's value here for a hot pitcher at home.
