+115O/U: 9
(-110/-110)-140

Jack Kochanowicz – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)
Given that groundball pitchers are hit hardest by flyball hitters, Jack Kochanowicz (53.1% GB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be a bit disadvantaged in this matchup with 2 FB hitters in Detroit’s projected batting order.
Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
The Los Angeles Angels have 4 hitters in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Mike Trout, Zach Neto, Logan O’Hoppe, Jorge Soler).
Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Keider Montero – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
Keider Montero’s slider rate has dropped by 6.5% from last season to this one (23.7% to 17.2%) .
Explain: Because sliders 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.
Detroit Tigers – 2H Moneyline
The Detroit Tigers bullpen grades out as the 9th-worst in the league, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
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.
