Tigers vs Twins MLB Betting Preview
By: Charlie Wright
Despite his pedigree, Jobe has struggled to generate punchouts as a big-leaguer.
He has an 18.8% K% this season, which is supported by an 8.2% SwStr% and a 21.8% CSW%. That latter number is especially troublesome.
Merrill Kelly is last among qualified pitchers with a 23.7% CWS%. It's rare to see a pitcher find success with a CSW% below 23%. Jobe isn't missing bats, but he's also not getting called strikes.
The Twins have the 4th-lowest K% against RHP in August. Their lineup will likely include at least 5 lefties. Jobe has a 9:6 K:BB against lefties this season.
Pick: Jackson Jobe Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-120, FanDuel)
