Houston Astros Insights
- Hunter Brown – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)Hunter Brown has been given more leash than the average pitcher since the start of last season, tallying 5.3 more adjusted pitches-per-start than league average.Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
- Jeremy Pena – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-145)Jeremy Pena’s exit velocity on flyballs has decreased this year; his 91.4-mph EV last season has dropped to 86.7-mph.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.
- Houston Astros – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Houston Astros’ bullpen profiles as the 3rd-best among all teams in the majors.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.
Detroit Tigers Insights
- Jack Flaherty – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-110/-120)Jack Flaherty has utilized his curveball 5.5% less often this year (19.9%) than he did last year (25.4%).Explain: Because curveballs are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use them less often may see less success as a result, particularly if he uses his fastball more instead.
- Kevin McGonigle – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-170)Extreme groundball bats like Kevin McGonigle tend to be more successful against extreme flyball pitchers like Hunter Brown.Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
- Kerry Carpenter – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)Kerry Carpenter pulls a lot of his flyballs (37.5% — 93rd percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the league’s 10th-deepest RF fences in today’s game.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.
