For the last 14 months I have shared my sports betting tips and plays on my Twitter page @shou_in. I am incredibly thankful for the platform Pickswise has now allowed me. I update my record in my Twitter bio daily and I’m more than willing to answer any questions or provide help through direct messaging.
Read below to see the props I am eyeing up on Tuesday’s MLB slate.
Jesus Luzardo (MIA) under 2.5 earned runs (-125)
Jesus Luzardo has been highly talked about for years now as an up-and-coming prospect. The 24-year-0ld southpaw is finally starting to put things together at the major league level. In his 11 starts this season Luzardo has held opponents to 2 or fewer earned runs in 8 of those starts. He has very impressive advanced stats including his 82nd percentile xERA, 87th percentile xBA, 82nd percentile xSLG and 69th percentile barrel rate. Luzardo gets ahead in counts with a 68.1% first-pitch strike rate which is very impressive for a pitcher so young. It is also a mark nearly 10% higher than hist rate last season. When ahead in counts he spikes his curveball usage to 43.6% and allows a .113 xBA and .150 xSLG on that pitch. Luzardo uses 4 pitches at least 22.1% of the time which helps to keep batters off balance. His average curveball speed is 83.8 MPH, but his average 4-seam fastball reached 96.7 MPH. His changeup serves as a crucial tool for him as the middling speed of the pitch mixed w ith its exceptional location have resulted in a .171 xBA and 47.8% whiff rate.
