Detroit Tigers Insights

• Casey Mize – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-120/-110)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) forecasts that Casey Mize will record an average of 4.9 singles today.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
• James Outman – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)
  James Outman has seen a sizeable gain in his exit velocity in recent games; just compare his 99-mph average over the last two weeks to his seasonal 87.6-mph figure.
  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.
• Detroit Tigers hitters collectively grade out 6th- in baseball for power this year when using their 9.1% Barrel%.
  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.

New York Yankees Insights

• Ryan Weathers – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
  The Detroit Tigers have 6 hitters in the projected offense that will hold the platoon advantage over Ryan Weathers in today’s game.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Anthony Volpe – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
  In today’s game, Anthony Volpe is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 5th-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 39.7% rate (97th 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.
