His success on the mound can be attributed to his high Whiff Rate as Skubal is also averaging less than one Hit Against and more than one Strikeout per Inning Pitched.Heading into game five, Skubal will have a great opportunity to generate another high volume of Whiffs as he faces off against a Seattle Mariners offense who ranks below league average in Contact Rate and in Strikeout Rate. For some more exposure, escalator bet Skubal’s Strikeout prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate overs at the best available odds across multiple sportsbooks.Tarik Skubal Over 19.5 Outs: (-120) at BetMGM SportsbookWhile an elimination game normally leads to a shorter leash for pitchers, Skubal will be able to go the full length of his start by consistently holding the Mariners runners out of scoring position. Especially with his back end reducing the amount of contact variance with their coverage as the Tigers defense currently resides in the top half of the board in Defensive Efficiency and in Fielding Percentage.George Kirby Under 4.5 Hits Allowed: (-165) at BetMGM SportsbookOn the other side of the field, George Kirby finds himself in a similar position as Skubal as he faces off against an offense who ranks below league average in the same previously mentioned offensive metrics. While Kirby’s ERA of 4.21 is certainly alarming, positive regression does loom large as the Mariners starting pitcher also averages a WHIP of 1.190 and more than one Strikeout per inning.His back end also helps lessen the width of the gaps in the outfield with their suffocating coverage as the Mariners defense ranks top-15 in Defensive Efficiency. Factor in the Mariners potentially opting into the idea of swapping their arms at a higher rate and the chances of Kirby staying under the total on his Hits Allowed prop increases as he may get pulled early on in the contest.George Kirby Under 15.5 Outs: (-175) at BetMGM SportsbookShould Kirby be unable to round back into form as his current ERA suggests, then it may be a quick outing for the Mariners pitcher. Getting into scoring position has been a strength for the Tigers offense this season as their lineup ranks above league average in On Base Percentage and in Slugger Percentage. If the total on Kirby’s Outs prop crosses through the key number of 15, then pass on this market.Parker Meadows Under 0.5 Hit (-139) at FanDuel SportsbookIt was a rough 2025 campaign for Parker Meadows as the Tigers batter finished the year averaging less than one Hit per game, a .215 Batting Average, and a .621 OPS. With Kirby excelling at avoiding contact, as well as being supported by a very productive defense who thrives in coverage, expect Meadows to continue to struggle at the plate and fail to generate a hit in game five of the ALDS.About the authorKody MalstromKody Malstrom is a professional sports bettor and sports betting journalist with six years of experience covering a vast majority of sports.
