Tyler Anderson had a decent start to his 2021 season according to Baseball Savant. He is in the 79th percentile in average exit velocity, 61st percentile in hard-hit percentage, and 34th percentile in xSLG. He has a five-pitch arsenal (cutter, fastball, changeup, sinker, curveball) and has increased his cutter usage in his first few outings this season.

The Tigers are awful against left-handed pitching and the Pirates have been playing sneaky well to start the season and they are 6-4 in their last 10 games, while the Tigers are coming into this game having lost four in a row and seven of 10. Lastly, the Tigers have the worst bullpen in the league with a 6.99 ERA. Take the Pirates at plus money.
