Detroit Tigers Insights

• Jack Flaherty – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)
  Jack Flaherty has utilized his curveball 5.9% less often this season (19.5%) than he did last season (25.4%).
  Explain: Because curveballs are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use them less often may see less success as a result, particularly if he uses his fastball more instead.
• Colt Keith – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Colt Keith has taken a step back with his Barrel% in recent games; his 5.9% seasonal rate has fallen off to 0% in the past two weeks.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• Detroit Tigers – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen projects as the 6th-worst among all the teams in Major League Baseball.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

New York Mets Insights

• Freddy Peralta – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
  Freddy Peralta’s fastball velocity has decreased 1.1 mph this season (93 mph) below where it was last season (94.1 mph).
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher whose velocity decreases will likely see worse results.
• Juan Soto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-150)
  Juan Soto has been hot in recent games, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 92.5-mph to 95.1-mph in the last two weeks’ worth of games.
  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.
• Mark Vientos – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
  Mark Vientos hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (40.5% — 99th percentile) and is fortunate to face the game’s shallowest CF fences today.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
