Seth Lugo LESS THAN 4.5 Hits Against

Seth Lugo has truly showcased some of his best performance during the latter part of the season. However, this play is as much about the context as it is about his ability. Just yesterday, the Royals received a stellar outing from Cole Ragans, which allowed them to conserve their bullpen for future games. This factor plays heavily into the decision-making process for Lugo’s usage. Should Lugo encounter any difficulties on the mound, I fully anticipate the coaching staff will act swiftly, opting to bring in relief rather than risking further trouble. While Lugo certainly has the talent to hit his performance metrics without being pulled early—a prospect I find quite appealing—his potential for a short leash enhances the stakes for this play. Ultimately, this combination of skill and situational dynamics makes me optimistic about his prospects.

Jeremy Pena LESS THAN 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs

Pena has encountered a challenging stretch over the past weeks as the season winds down, and his struggles were evident yesterday when he went 0-for-3, with only a sacrifice bunt to show for his efforts. As we enter a bullpen game for Detroit, he may face a variety of situational pitching that could further complicate his chances at the plate. Given these circumstances, I anticipate that Pena’s difficulties will persist, leading him to fall short of 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs. The combination of his recent performance and the unpredictability of the opposing bullpen makes me wary of his ability to turn things around in this matchup.
