The Royals need to keep winning in order to maintain their playoff position, and Casey Mize is a pitcher we want to fade. Mize has a long list of negative analytics. He doesn’t strike out many batters, has a hard hit rate of 44.5%, and a wOBA sitting at .330. He couldn’t make it out of the 2nd inning the last time he faced the Royals, getting lit up for 6 earned. Cole Ragans continues to be dominant, especially against Detroit, where he’s allowed a total of 2 runs combined over the 2 times he’s faced them this season. Take the Royals F5 RL.
