Boston Red Sox Insights

• Willson Contreras – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-170)
  Willson Contreras has seen a sizeable gain in his exit velocity on flyballs this season; just compare his 99.8-mph average to last year’s 95.8-mph EV.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• Boston Red Sox – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Boston Red Sox’ bullpen projects as the 3rd-best among 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.

Detroit Tigers Insights

• Framber Valdez – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)
  As a result of his large reverse platoon split, Framber Valdez should be in good shape facing 7 batters in the projected batting order of the opposite hand in this game.
  Explain: A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform better against opposite-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be better against a left-handed hitter). Holding this advantage against several hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Spencer Torkelson – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
  Spencer Torkelson is an extreme flyball hitter and faces the strong outfield defense of Boston (#2-best on the slate today).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• Spencer Torkelson – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
  Spencer Torkelson pulls many of his flyballs (40.2% — 98th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards the game’s 5th-deepest LF 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.
