New York Yankees Insights

• Gerrit Cole – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-155/+120)
  Throwing 82.1 adjusted pitches per game per started this year on average, Gerrit Cole ranks in the 24th percentile.
  Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Cody Bellinger – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
  Extreme groundball batters like Cody Bellinger tend to perform better 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 boosted 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 New York Yankees in today’s game has an estimated true talent wOBA of .324, which is considerably lower than their actual wOBA of .335 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

• Colt Keith – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-140/+110)
  Colt Keith is projected to hit 8th on the lineup card today, which would be a downgrade from his 74% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this season.
  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.
