Steven Matz has a 7.27 ERA through two starts. The Reds have a 2-11 record and are striking out at 28.4%, hitting .171, and walking at the lowest rate in the National League at 7%. The offense has scored just seven runs over its last six games. MatZ is going to be able to dominate the Reds' lineup. The left-hander is a good matchup for the team. He had a rough start in his first start, but looked better in this one.
Nathaniel Lowe is a +140 price on total bases. He's slashing .396/.431/.458 and has a seven-game hitting streak. Lowe and the Rangers are playing against Oakland at the RingCentral Coliseum. Adam Oller has given up 17 total base hits in 2 starts. He has also given four doubles and a pair of long balls.
Matt Chapman is second on the team in wOBA and is hitting .320 against Justin Verlander. He has a tough matchup tonight, but the books aren't giving him much credit. He's priced worse than Santiago Espinal, Alejandro Kirk and Raimel Tapia. They're all priced lower than Chapman. Verlander has allowed just eight hits over his first 13 innings since returning from Tommy John surgery.
