Tampa Bay Rays

Detroit Tigers Insights

• Gleyber Torres – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-215/+165)
  Gleyber Torres has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (100% of the time), but he is penciled in 8th on the lineup card in today’s game.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• Detroit Tigers bats jointly rank near the bottom of the league this year ( 6th-worst) when assessing their 88.2-mph average exit velocity.
  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.

Tampa Bay Rays Insights

• Tampa Bay Rays – Moneyline (-145)
  Among all the teams playing today, the worst infield defense belongs to the Tampa Bay Rays.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Jonathan Aranda – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-150)
  Jonathan Aranda has been hot of late, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 91.3-mph to 100.1-mph in the past two weeks.
  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.
• Yandy Diaz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Yandy Diaz has a 100th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (43.3%) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them out towards MLB’s 5th-shallowest RF fences in today’s matchup.
  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.
