Seattle Mariners Insights

• Seattle Mariners – Moneyline (-125)
  The Seattle Mariners infield defense projects as the 2nd-worst out of all the teams in action today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Julio Rodriguez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)
  In the past week’s worth of games, Julio Rodriguez’s Barrel% has experienced a surge, jumping from his seasonal rate of 9.7% up to 26.3%.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• Seattle has been the #5 squad in the game when it comes to hitting balls between 23° and 34°, the launch angle range that tends to best-produce home runs (16.6% rate this year).
  Explain: Balls that are hit too low can’t clear the fences, and balls that are hit too high generally don’t go far enough and are easy pop flies, but balls hit between 23° and 34° are far more likely to become home runs.

Detroit Tigers Insights

• Framber Valdez – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-160/+125)
  Tallying 92 adjusted pitches per start this year on average, Framber Valdez places him the 78th percentile.
  Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Gleyber Torres – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-180/+140)
  Gleyber Torres’s average exit velocity has decreased this season; his 89.8-mph EV last season has fallen to 84-mph.
  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 9% Barrel% of the Detroit Tigers makes them the #8 offense in the league this year by this metric.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
