(For reference, in 2022, Daz Cameron’s and Kody Clemens’ OPSes were. 621, and against lefties was even better at. Opposing Manning was Framber Valdez, the lefty who finished fifth in AL Cy Young voting last year with a sub-3 ERA, over 200 innings pitched (remember when that was routine for starters? I do), and only 11 home runs served up in those innings pitched. The key for Manning this year will just be to stay healthy, I’d think. Overall in his major-league career so far, Manning has struggled a bit with control, although he did see improvements in his strikeout, walk and home runs per 9 innings ratios, and lowered his WHIP to a respectable 1.175 last year. Arguably his best start last year was on September 16 against the White Sox in which he went seven innings, walked none and whiffed five in a game the Tigers won in ten innings. Matt Manning got the start for the Tigers, after an injury-plagued 2022 which saw him miss time due to problems with his right shoulder and forearm. Let’s sweep this thing on Wednesday, fellas! Did they pay off? Well, mostly yes, and you can’t argue with the results: a 6-3 win for the Tigers. Riley Greene was moved up to the 2-hole against a lefty starter.īold moves, Mr.
