Detroit Tigers Insights

• Detroit Tigers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+110)
  In his last start, Keider Montero performed well and allowed 2 ER.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Zach McKinstry – Over/Under Total Bases
  Zach McKinstry’s average exit velocity has declined this year; his 85.9-mph average last year has dropped to 83.9-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.
• Spencer Torkelson – Over/Under Total Bases
  Spencer Torkelson pulls many of his flyballs (39.5% — 96th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards the league’s 5th-shallowest LF 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.

Chicago White Sox Insights

• Chicago White Sox – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-140)
  Sean Burke is an extreme flyball pitcher (37.8% FB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT) and is stuck pitching in the #7 HR venue among all parks today.
  Explain: This pitcher’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the projected lineup for the Chicago White Sox in today’s game owns an estimated true talent wOBA of .307, which is a fair amount lower than their actual wOBA of .318 this year.
  Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.
