For a limited time, get every baseball play from your favorite handicapper for three full days — and any 5% Best Bets released — for just $49.

As a bonus, if your handicapper releases any college or international selections during your access window — including College Baseball, KBO (Korea) or NPB (Japan) — those are included at no extra charge. Don't miss a single first pitch — lock in your Triple Play All-Access Pass today and start cashing tickets!

*Access includes all MLB selections and any college/international baseball released and played during your 3-day window.

(957) Detroit Tigers at (958) Tampa Bay Rays: F3 Team Total

1.5% Detroit Tigers Total Under 0.5 (105) Griffin Jax (RHP) Must Start

Detroit Tigers Performance Analysis:

  • Significant Offensive Slump: Since May 16, the Tigers have been in a deep slide, posting a 2-13 record while averaging just 2.5 runs per game. Their recent production is even more concerning, as they have managed only 5 total runs and 18 hits over their last 4 games.

  • Early Inning Struggles: Detroit has found it difficult to generate production at the start of games, batting just .213 in the first 3 innings since May 16. This lack of early contact makes them highly vulnerable against high-efficiency starters.

Jax Performance Analysis:

  • Elite Starting Metrics: Jax has provided elite stability since moving into a primary role. Across 17 appearances and 6 starts, he carries a 3.30 ERA and 1.37 WHIP. However, his performance as a member of the rotation is even more impressive, boasting a miniscule 1.29 ERA in his 6 starts.

  • Stifling Home Dominance: Jax is a significantly better pitcher in his home stadium. He holds a 2.13 home ERA and a 0.868 home WHIP, contrasted sharply with his 4.67 road ERA.

  • Opponent Suppression at Home: At home, Jax has maintained a 2.13 ERA with a .143 OBA compared to a road ERA of 4.67 to go along with a .318 OBA!

Consultant Bio

MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW HIM @JMSportsCLE

Yet another handicapper from the Cleveland area following Marc Lawrence, Phil Steele, Ralph Michaels, Ed Meyer, and Bryan Leonard. In fact, Jeff's hunger for handicapping began at a young age, being surrounded by parents who made sports betting a daily routine. Jeff then worked for both North Coast Sports and Phil Steele Publications, learning the intricacies of sports betting and becoming a profitable handicapper. Throughout his college years, Jeff's mathematical and analytical prowess helped him develop a betting strategy that turned sports betting into a profitable venture.

Jeff now joins the Sports Memo Marketplace after selling picks on several small sites. Jeff handicaps the traditional sports of NFL, CFB, the NBA, College Basketball, and MLB while showing real prowess in the WNBA. He has dominated the teaser market and has spent a lot of his focus on sides. While also adding in a share of props (especially NFL & MLB), as well as totals.
