Detroit Tigers Insights

  • Casey Mize – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
    The leading projection system (THE BAT X) forecasts that Casey Mize will record an average of 4.9 singles today.
    Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
  • Hao-Yu Lee – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+120)
    Hao Yu Lee has been hot in recent games, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 88.6-mph to 96.3-mph over the past 7 days.
    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 – 2H Moneyline
    The Detroit Tigers bullpen grades out as the 9th-best in the league, according to 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.

New York Yankees Insights

  • Ryan Weathers – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
    The Detroit Tigers have 6 hitters in the projected offense that will hold the platoon advantage over Ryan Weathers in today’s game.
    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.
  • Anthony Volpe – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
    In today’s game, Anthony Volpe is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 5th-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 39.7% rate (97th percentile).
    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.
