-130O/U: 8
(-110/-110)+110

Hunter Brown – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-125/-105)
Given that groundball pitchers are hit hardest by flyball hitters, Hunter Brown (48.7% GB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be a bit disadvantaged in this game with 2 FB hitters in Detroit’s projected offense.
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.
Jeremy Pena – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
Jeremy Pena’s exit velocity on flyballs has decreased this year; his 91.4-mph EV last season has dropped to 86.7-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
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Houston Astros’ bullpen profiles as the 8th-best among all teams in the majors.
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.

Jack Flaherty – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)
Jack Flaherty has utilized his curveball 5.5% less often this year (19.9%) than he did last year (25.4%).
Explain: Because curveballs 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.
Spencer Torkelson – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
Extreme groundball batters like Spencer Torkelson tend to be more successful against extreme flyball pitchers like Hunter Brown.
Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
Spencer Torkelson – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
Spencer Torkelson pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (39.8% — 97th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards 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.
