Pete Kozma scratched Friday; Leonys Martin replaces
Kozma has been scratched from the Detroit Tigers original confirmed lineup and will not play in Friday's matchup against the Seattle Mariners due to a manager decision after Leonys Martin was activated from the disabled list. He'll be replaced in the lineup by Martin, who will play center field and slot into the leadoff spot in the order, which does slide JaCoby Jones down one batting position to second, but ultimately, the remainder of the Tigers lineup stays intact as they face off against right-hander Felix Hernandez on the road this evening.
Carlos Carrasco faces a Detroit lineup minus it's top two bats
While the Detroit Tigers have a team 20.7 K% against RHP this year that's one of the lower marks in the league, this particular lineup tonight is absent both Jeimer Candelario and Nick Castellanos. With Pete Kozma batting second, PlateIQ tells us that this confirmed lineup has just a .130 ISO and 25.8 K% vs RHP since last season with Kozma, Jacoby Jones and Niko Goodrum exceeding a 30% strikeout rate against RHP. Carrasco exceeded seven strikeouts for the first time this season last time out, but is now probably the top pitcher on the board in this expected cakewalk.
Francisco Liriano has been effective due to a .211 BABIP, but a .373 xwOBA is more in line with afternoon projections
The Texas Rangers have the top implied run line on the early FanDuel slate (5.15), though they are merely fourth on DraftKings larger six gamer. Francisco Liriano hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of his six starts, three of which have gone longer than six innings, but with estimators all well above four, while his ERA sits at 2.97 due to a .211 BABIP (15.3 LD%). He retains a double digit walk rate to go along with just an 18.6 K%. A .373 xwOBA (10.2% Barrels/BBE) might be a more realistic projection for how things are expected to go this afternoon. The Rangers don't usually do a lot of platooning, but are nearly forced to start seven right-handed batters considering that they have both a wOBA and xwOBA over 100 points higher against Liriano since last season. Five of them have more than 30 PAs against southpaws over the last calendar year and all five are above a 120 wRC+. and .190 ISO, the best of whom have been Jurickson Profar (220 wRC+, .379 ISO, .398 xwOBA), Adrian Beltre (168 wRC+, .224 ISO) and Robinson Chirinos (145 wRC+, .241 ISO). Unfortunately, three of this five right-handed batters comprise the bottom half of the batting order. The Tigers have a bottom three 4.35 implied run line on either site against Bartolo Colon (17.4 K%), whose FIP (4.88) and DRA (5.51) are his only estimators above four. He has a .196 BABIP along with a 22.2 HR/FB, allowing four bombs to the Red Sox in his most recent start. Detroit doesn't have a name any casual fan would recognize in the lineup today and a few not even well seasoned MLB DFS players might know. Only Jeimer Candelaro (128 wRC+, .192 ISO) is near average against RHP over the last calendar year. He and Niko Goodrum (52 wRC+, .125) are the only left-handed bats in the lineup. Bartolo Colon has allowed RHBs a .350 xwOBA since last season too though. Grayson Greiner or Pete Kozma anyone?
