Kenta Maeda's start was pushed back two days due to a weather postponement, and I'm running back my high play on him here. His downfall this year has been home runs, giving up three in two separate games and seven overall, but the Cardinals are tied for the worst per-game home run rate in the league (0.67). With the power element largely a non-factor, he should stick around into the sixth inning, especially with the Tigers bullpen coming off a double-header.

Did not think this would get to 9 (ESPNBet has 9.5) and while I don't love it will play a little simply as getaway games in Detroit tend to be lower scoring and the winds are blowing in from right field a fair amount. Tigers pitcher Kenta Maeda has a 5.96 ERA but comes off his best outing of the season and has been very solid in three of his past four overall. Interesting (to me anyways) fact about Cards pitcher Miles Mikolas. He is one of 13 active MLB pitchers with 180 appearances and 150 starts who has faced 29 different MLB foes but the only one who has not faced the Tigers as their final opponent. That could help our cause.

Kenta Maeda has struggled this season and while his strikeout metrics don't look great, I don't believe hes suddenly fallen off a cliff. Maeada has been a very consistent strikeout artist over the last seven seasons and he has a "get right" matchup against a Cardinals lineup that sports the seventh highest K rate against opposing right handed pitchers this season. Look for Maeda to get back on track in a favorable matchup.
