STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP
José Soriano — RHP, Angels
- 2026 ERA: 4.33
- WHIP: 1.34
- K/BB: 2.9
- Last 3 starts: 16.2 IP, 9 ER, 17 K
- Pitch mix: 98 mph sinker, curve, slider, change
Soriano has elite stuff but inconsistent command. When he’s ahead in counts, he’s dominant; when behind, he walks hitters and gives up hard contact.
Concern: Tigers’ left‑handed bats (Greene, Meadows) hit high‑velocity sinkers well.
Casey Mize — RHP, Tigers
- 2026 ERA: 3.91
- WHIP: 1.27
- K/BB: 3.0
- Last 3 starts: 17.0 IP, 7 ER, 14 K
- Pitch mix: Sinker, splitter, slider, 4‑seam
Mize has been solid, relying on command and weak contact. His splitter has been his best pitch, generating a 34% whiff rate.
Concern: Angels’ RH bats (Trout, Schanuel, O’Hoppe) hit splitters well.
