Detroit Tigers Insights
- Detroit Tigers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-110)Framber Valdez is an extreme groundball pitcher (56.1% GB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT), which should make him somewhat immune to the dangers of pitching in Oriole Park at Camden Yards — the #10 HR venue in the league — in this matchup.Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-expected performance.
- Matt Vierling – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+140)Matt Vierling is projected to bat 7th in the lineup in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 66% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.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.
- Spencer Torkelson – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)Spencer Torkelson pulls many of his flyballs (40% — 97th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards the game’s 4th-deepest LF fences today.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.
Baltimore Orioles Insights
- Brandon Young – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Brandon Young has utilized his non-fastballs 11.7% less often this year (44.5%) than he did last season (56.2%).Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.
- Pete Alonso – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)Pete Alonso has been hot recently, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 94.9-mph to 99.1-mph over the last 7 days.Explain: 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.
- The Baltimore Orioles have 4 hitters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Weston Wilson, Coby Mayo, Tyler O’Neill, Blaze Alexander).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
