Thursday’s Best MLB PrizePicks Player Predictions
PrizePicks Record This Season: 5-12
This is a steep line to cross for any starter, but Skubal is unlike most. His stuff is filthy, and he generates strikeouts at an elite rate. Last season, he had a 32.9% K% in 80.1 innings pitched.
Skubal looked sharp last outing against the A’s with nine punchouts and shouldn’t have any trouble finding plenty in this contest either. The Twins own the second-highest K% (28.2%) on the season. It’s a small sample, but the Minnesota roster has combined for a 37.5% K% in 48 plate appearances against Skubal.
The Tigers still possess a pretty pathetic lineup. Their 95 wRC+ isn’t all that bad so far, but taking on Pablo Lopez presents a different challenge than any other ordinary pitcher.
Last season, Lopez ranked in the 93rd-percentile in xERA, 95th in chase%, and 87th in K%. He’s an elite hurler and should make easy work of Detroit much the same way as he did last season. The Tigers own a combined 199 xwOBA and 29.2 K% in 65 plate appearances against Lopez, who struck out at least seven batters in 21 of 32 starts last season.
Quintana is not a strike-out guy and never has been with a career 7.96 K/9. He has been held under this mark in both starts this season, and the Braves love to face him. The Braves own a .359 xwOBA and 17.3 K% across 156 combined plate appearances against Quintana. Atlanta possesses one of the most fearsome lineups in baseball and there’s a decent chance they knock the veteran lefty out of the game early.
