Detroit Tigers Insights

• Jackson Jobe – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-175/+135)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Jackson Jobe to throw 85 pitches in today’s game (2nd-least of all pitchers on the slate today), considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup.
  Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
• Kevin McGonigle – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-165)
  Kevin McGonigle is an extreme flyball batter and squares off against the weak outfield defense of Minnesota (#2-worst on the slate today).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Taj Bradley – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)
  When assessing his strikeout skill, the leading projection system (THE BAT) puts Taj Bradley in the 88th percentile among all SPs in baseball.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available.
• Trevor Larnach – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-150/+120)
  Trevor Larnach has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this season (85% of the time), but he is projected to hit 6th in the lineup in this matchup.
  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.
