Houston Astros

Detroit Tigers Insights

• Detroit Tigers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-105)
  In his last start, Drew Anderson turned in a great performance and allowed 0 ER.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Colt Keith – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)
  Colt Keith has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (77% of the time), but he is projected to bat 6th in the batting order in this 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.
• The Detroit Tigers have 3 hitters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (James Outman, Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Houston Astros Insights

• Kai-Wei Teng – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-155/+120)
  Tallying 13.3 outs per game per started this year on average, Kai-Wei Teng ranks in the 7th percentile.
  Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
• Jeremy Pena – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Jeremy Pena’s exit velocity on flyballs has declined this season; his 91.4-mph mark last season has dropped off to 86.5-mph.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• Houston Astros – 2H Moneyline
  The Houston Astros bullpen projects as the 8th-best in the league, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
