Detroit Tigers Insights
- Tarik Skubal – Over/Under 8.5 Strikeouts (-150/+115)Tarik Skubal’s 2354-rpm spin rate on his fastball this year is a significant 128-rpm jump from last season’s 2226-rpm figure.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher who improves his spin rate will likely see improved results.
- Zach McKinstry – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-125/-105)There has been a decrease in Zach McKinstry’s average exit velocity this year, from 88 mph last year to 85.9 mph nowExplain: 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.
- Spencer Torkelson – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)Spencer Torkelson pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (39.2% — 97th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards the league’s 8th-shallowest LF fences in today’s matchup.Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
Seattle Mariners Insights
- George Kirby – Over/Under 13.5 Pitching Outs (-125/-105)George Kirby has averaged 92.9 adjusted pitches per game per started this year, checking in at the 83rd percentile.Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
- Eugenio Suarez – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)Detroit’s #2-ranked outfield defense on the slate today poses a formidable challenge for Eugenio Suarez, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
- George Kirby – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-110/-120)Projected catcher Cal Raleigh grades out as an elite pitch framer, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).Explain: Pitch framing is a catcher’s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, “stealing” strikes for his pitcher. This leads to more positive outcomes (like strikeouts) and fewer negative ones (like walks or earned runs).
