Colorado Rockies Insights
- Mason Adams – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-135/+105)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Mason Adams to be on a bit of a short leash in this matchup, projecting a maximum of 83 pitches.Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
- Jake McCarthy – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)Extreme flyball batters like Jake McCarthy tend to perform worse against extreme flyball 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 diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
- According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the projected batting order for the Colorado Rockies today owns an estimated true talent wOBA of .300, which is a good deal worse than their actual wOBA of .321 this year.Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.
Detroit Tigers Insights
- Framber Valdez – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)Because of his reverse platoon split, Framber Valdez will be at an advantage being matched up with 7 hitters in the projected offense who bat from the other side in this matchup.Explain: A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform better against opposite-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be better against a left-handed hitter). Holding this advantage against several hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
- Gleyber Torres – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)In the last 7 days, Gleyber Torres’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 6.4% down to 0%.Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
- Detroit Tigers – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen projects as the 8th-worst among all the teams in the majors.Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
