Detroit Tigers Insights
- Tarik Skubal – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)Tarik Skubal’s fastball velocity has decreased 1 mph this year (95.9 mph) below where it was last year (96.9 mph).Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher whose velocity decreases will likely see worse results.
- Jahmai Jones – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+155/-200)Jahmai Jones has been unlucky this year, posting a .216 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .328 — a .112 gap.Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
- Detroit’s 88.4-mph average exit velocity this year ranks among the worst in MLB: #24 overall.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.
Cleveland Guardians Insights
- Joey Cantillo – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-145/+115)Recording 14.4 outs per game per started this year on average, Joey Cantillo checks in at the 20th percentile.Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
- Angel Martinez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)Angel Martinez is penciled in 1st on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be an upgrade from his 57% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this year.Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
- Jose Ramirez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)Jose Ramirez pulls a lot of his flyballs (43.3% — 100th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards the league’s 3rd-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.
