Detroit Tigers Insights

• Casey Mize – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)
  As forecasted by the leading projection system (THE BAT X), Casey Mize is expected to ring up an average of 5.1 strikeouts in today’s game.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.
• Riley Greene – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Riley Greene’s average exit velocity has dropped off this season; his 90-mph figure last season has dropped off to 84.9-mph.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• Detroit Tigers – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen grades out as the 4th-best out of all teams in Major League Baseball.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Joe Ryan – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)
  Joe Ryan’s four-seamer utilization has dropped by 10% from last year to this one (51.6% to 41.6%) .
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball lessoften will likely be more effective than he used to be.
• James Outman – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-110/-120)
  Based on Statcast data, the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Expected Batting Average (.160) suggests that James Outman has had bad variance on his side since the start of last season with his .127 actual batting average.
  Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
• Victor Caratini – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-180/+135)
  Victor Caratini hits many of his flyballs to center field (38.6% — 91st percentile) and will be challenged by the game’s 10th-deepest CF fences today.
  Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
