Detroit Tigers Insights

• Detroit Tigers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+105)
  With a 0.5 discrepancy between Framber Valdez’s 4.41 ERA and his 3.91 estimated true talent ERA (per the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the least fortunate pitchers in the majors this year and figures to see better results in the future.
  Explain: Pitchers that are underperforming should be expected to pitch better going forward, which can create value if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date underperformance.
• Riley Greene – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
  Riley Greene has been cold lately, with his seasonal exit velocity of 91-mph dropping to 80.2-mph in the past week.
  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 – Moneyline (+110)
  The Detroit Tigers projected offense projects as the 5th-strongest on the slate in terms of overall batting skill.
  Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Seattle Mariners Insights

• Bryce Miller – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
  Bryce Miller’s 95.4-mph velocity on his fastball this season is a big 1.2-mph increase from last season’s 94.2-mph figure.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher who improves his velocity will likely see improved results.
• Cal Raleigh – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+160/-210)
  Extreme flyball hitters like Cal Raleigh tend to perform better against extreme groundball pitchers like 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 boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Seattle Mariners – 2H Moneyline
  The Seattle Mariners bullpen projects as the 10th-best in Major League Baseball, per 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.
