Detroit Tigers Insights

• Kerry Carpenter – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
  In the last week, Kerry Carpenter’s exit velocity on flyballs has seen a big rise, from 98.2-mph over the course of the season to 110.3-mph of late.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• Detroit Tigers – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen grades out as the 5th-best out of all teams in Major League Baseball.
  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.

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Joe Ryan – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
  Joe Ryan’s four-seamer utilization has dropped by 10% from last year to this one (51.6% to 41.6%) .
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball lessoften will likely be more effective than he used to be.
• Kody Clemens – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)
  As it relates to his batting average, Kody Clemens has suffered from bad luck since the start of last season. His .212 figure falls considerably below the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected Batting Average (xBA) at .236.
  Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
• Kody Clemens – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-165/+125)
  In today’s matchup, Kody Clemens is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 9th-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 38.8% rate (92nd percentile).
  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.
