Casey Mize (1-6, 4.54 ERA) vs. Griffin Canning (3-8, 4.72 ERA)
Casey Mize has shown signs of promise throughout his 1-6 record this season with his 4.54 ERA and 1.49 WHIP, yet his 56-19 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 73.1 innings highlights his ability to handle difficult situations. Mize excels at controlling his pitch movement when at his best; his key strength being pitch control. However, his tendency to give up hits (90 total) and long balls (7 homers) remain areas of concern; to beat Angels effectively Mize will need to stay composed while limiting big hits while remaining at his best when pitching well.
Griffin Canning‘s 3-8 record and 4.72 ERA mirror many of Mize’s struggles and strengths. While his 1.33 WHIP indicates slightly better control of baserunners, his 15 home runs allowed in 87.2 innings are an obvious weakness. While his strikeout total of 59 indicates his ability to challenge batters effectively, 30 walks may indicate lapses in control; Canning must avoid giving up significant hits against Tigers power hitters to maximize his success and leverage his strengths while limiting homer risk.
