Detroit Tigers

Chicago White Sox Insights

• Miguel Vargas – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
  Miguel Vargas is an extreme flyball batter and faces the weak outfield defense of Detroit (#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.
• Chicago White Sox – 2H Moneyline
  The Chicago White Sox bullpen profiles as the 8th-best in the game, according to 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.

Detroit Tigers Insights

• Troy Melton – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-130/+100)
  Troy Melton has been given less leash than the typical pitcher since the start of last season, throwing 17.3 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than the average pitcher.
  Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
• Zach McKinstry – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
  Sean Newcomb will have the handedness advantage over Zach McKinstry in today’s matchup.
  Explain: Right-handed hitters perform better against left-handed pitchers (and visa-versa). This can have a huge impact on whether a hitter will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Spencer Torkelson – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)
  Spencer Torkelson pulls many of his flyballs (39.9% — 97th percentile) but may find it hard to clear baseball’s 5th-deepest LF fences in today’s game.
  Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
