Houston Astros Insights

  • Kai-Wei Teng – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
    The Detroit Tigers have 6 bats in the projected offense that will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against Kai-Wei Teng today.
    Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
  • Jeremy Pena – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
    Typically, hitters like Jeremy Pena who hit a lot of flyballs generally hit worse when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of flyballs such as Framber Valdez.
    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.
  • Isaac Paredes – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
    Isaac Paredes pulls a lot of his flyballs (47.7% — 100th percentile) but may find it hard to clear the game’s 5th-deepest LF fences in today’s matchup.
    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.

Detroit Tigers Insights

  • Detroit Tigers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-135)
    Framber Valdez turned in a great performance in his last outing and conceded 1 ER.
    Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
  • Matt Vierling – Over/Under Hits
    Matt Vierling is projected to hit 8th on the lineup card today, which would be a downgrade from his 62% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this season.
    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 batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene, James Outman).
    Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
