Detroit Tigers Insights

  • Detroit Tigers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-115)
    Jack Flaherty is an extreme flyball pitcher (35.5% FB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) and has the benefit of pitching in the #23 HR venue in Major League Baseball in this matchup.
    Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
  • Dillon Dingler – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
    Cracking 6 home runs over the past 14 days, Dillon Dingler has been on fire of late.
    Explain: Strong recent performance may mean the player is seeing the ball well and will continue to hit well in the near-term.
  • Detroit Tigers – 2H Moneyline
    According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen profiles as the 9th-worst among all the teams in the majors.
    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.

Cleveland Guardians Insights

  • Tanner Bibee – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
    Tanner Bibee has utilized his slider 13.2% less often this year (2.2%) than he did last year (15.4%).
    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.
  • Jose Ramirez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
    Extreme flyball hitters like Jose Ramirez tend to perform worse against extreme flyball pitchers like Jack Flaherty.
    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.
  • Jose Ramirez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
    Jose Ramirez pulls many of his flyballs (43.2% — 100th percentile) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards MLB’s 6th-shallowest RF 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.
