If you ever wondered how an ace pitcher without a loss and four wins under his belt might affect a Major League Baseball batting activity, look no further than today’s Tigers-Twins game.
The Tigers starting Jordan Zimmerman (4-0, 0.35) are just a -121 favorite despite his stellar record. The betting public is feasting on this number at just shy of a 90 percent clip.
Zimmermann finally allowed his first run of the season his last start, bringing his ERA to 0.35 through four starts.
Despite the strong start, two of four games Zimmerman has started have gone over 10 runs scored. Remarkably, today’s total is 8.5. The OVER is 41-19-4 in Detroit’s last 64 road games.
Zimmerman had tossed seven scoreless in his lone start against Minnesota in 2013.
The 25-year-old boasts a 5-1 record with a 3.05 ERA in his first 11 major-league starts while allowing only five home runs in 62 innings. Duffey limited the Tigers to three runs in 12 1/3 innings in a pair of wins last September.
