Minnesota Twins Insights

  • Minnesota Twins – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-105)
    In his previous GS, Zebby Matthews was in good form and gave up 0 ER.
    Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
  • Tristan Gray – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-145/+110)
    Tristan Gray is an extreme flyball hitter and matches up with the weak outfield defense of Detroit (#3-worst of all teams on the slate today).
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
  • Minnesota Twins hitters as a group rank near the cellar of Major League Baseball this year ( 4th-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.

Detroit Tigers Insights

  • Keider Montero – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-105/-125)
    Keider Montero has been given less leash than the typical pitcher this year, throwing 10.3 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than the average starter.
    Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
  • Colt Keith – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+140)
    Colt Keith is penciled in 6th on the lineup card in this game, which would be a downgrade from his 80% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this year.
    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.
  • Spencer Torkelson – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
    Spencer Torkelson pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (39.7% — 96th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the game’s 5th-deepest LF fences in today’s game.
    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.
