Woodruff has a mouthwatering matchup and betting info tonight.
The Angels are tied for 25th in wRC+ (93) with a 26.8 K% versus righties and tied for 19th in wRC+ (94) with a 26.9 K% on the road in 2025. They were also 28th in wRC+ (79) with a 30.1 K% in the previous 30 days. Thus, the Brewers are listed as -205 favorites, and the game’s total is 8.0 runs.
Jacob deGrom has pitched well in a healthy 2025 campaign. He’s also in rock-solid form. In his previous four starts spanning 22.1 innings, deGrom has tallied the following statistics.
- 3.22 ERA
- 3.67 xERA
- 3.55 xFIP
- 0.85 WHIP
- Two wins
- One quality start
- 5.7 BB%
- 26.4 K%
- 13.6 SwStr%
- 29.1 CSW%
- 110 stuff+
- 105 location+
- 119 pitching+
The veteran righty has a favorable matchup and stellar betting info tonight.
The Astros are tied for 20th in wRC+ (98) with a 21.0 K% versus righties and 18th in wRC+ (99) with a 21.7 K% at home this year. Houston was also 23rd in wRC+ (91) with a 22.8 K% in the previous 30 days. So, the Rangers are -125 favorites, and the game’s total is a pitcher-friendly 7.5 runs.
Kevin Gausman is rolling into tonight’s start. In his last five starts spanning 35 innings, Gausman has rattled off the following stats.
- 2.06 ERA
- 3.21 xERA
- 2.96 xFIP
- 3.25 SIERA
- 0.77 WHIP
- Two wins
- Three quality starts
- One shutout
- 3.8 BB%
- 25.4 K%
- 11.6 SwStr%
- 28.9 CSW%
- 103 stuff+
- 106 location+
- 109 pitching+
I nearly ranked Gausman above deGrom, but Gausman’s matchup and betting info aren’t quite as nice as deGrom’s.
The Rays are 13th in wRC+ (104) with a 22.5 K% versus righties and tied for 12th in wRC+ (106) with a 22.3 K% at home this season. Tampa Bay was also 17th in wrC+ (99) with a 24.1 K% in the previous 30 days. The matchup is decent, but it’s not superb. The betting info is also in a similar tier, with the Blue Jays listed as -125 favorites, but the game’s total is an uninspiring 8.5 runs.
Suggested Lineup Stacks
The Mariners will attempt to rudely greet Cole Ragans in his return from the injured list (IL). Ragans hasn’t pitched for the Royals since June 5, and he’s struggled this season. The 27-year-old has a 5.18 ERA in 10 starts this season. Sure, Ragans’ 2.74 xERA, 2.58 xFIP and 2.66 SIERA suggest he’s been exceptionally unlucky. Nevertheless, some rust from a lengthy IL stint could make it difficult for him to start the process of regressing to his ERA estimators. Moreover, the Mariners are a brutal matchup for southpaws. All of Seattle’s projected starters have had at least a 108 wRC+ against lefties since 2023. Additionally, eight have had at least a 110 wRC+, six have had at least a 115 wRC+ and four have had at least a 125 wRC+.
- Home (Kauffman Stadium)
- Game Total/Moneyline: 8.5 Runs/KC -110
The Royals could make tonight’s matchup with the Mariners a slugfest. Bryce Miller is in a season-long rut with no signs of snapping out of it. In his previous five starts, Miller has tallied a 5.33 ERA, 5.65 xERA, 3.84 xFIP and 3.90 SIERA. Miller also hasn’t enjoyed pitching in hostile road environments, as evidenced by his 4.56 ERA and 4.75 xFIP in 124.1 innings on the road since last season. Thus, the Royals could light up the scoreboard tonight.
Core Studs
- Vinnie Pasquantino is on fire, mashing eight taters with 17 runs, 24 RBIs, a .339 OBP, .298 ISO, .385 wOBA, .390 xwOBA and 145 wRC+ in his previous 115 plate appearances.
- Bobby Witt has rattled off a .353 OBP, .237 ISO, .374 wOBA and 140 wRC+ against righties since 2023.
- Randy Arozarena has recorded 24 homers with a .343 OBP, .220 ISO, .350 wOBA and 132 wRC+ in 508 plate appearances against lefties since 2023.
Value Plays/Punts
- In 41 plate appearances since Jac Caglianone was recalled from the minors, he’s hit one homer with a .317 OBP, .088 ISO, .276 wOBA, .343 xwOBA and 71 wRC+. Caglianone crushed pitching in the minors, and his xwOBA suggests he’s due for positive regression.
- Mitch Garver has launched 13 long-balls with a 365 OBP, .173 ISO, .346 wOBA and 130 wRC+ in 386 plate appearances against southpaws since 2023.
