Detroit Tigers Insights
- Tarik Skubal – Over/Under 8.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)Tarik Skubal’s change-up usage has decreased by 6.3% from last year to this one (31.5% to 25.2%) .Explain: Because change-ups 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.
- Matt Vierling – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)Matt Vierling is projected to bat 8th in the batting order today, which would be a downgrade from his 60% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this season.Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
- Detroit Tigers – 2H MoneylineThe Detroit Tigers bullpen ranks as the 7th-worst in Major League Baseball, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
Los Angeles Angels Insights
- Los Angeles Angels – Moneyline (+165)Out of every team today, the 2nd-worst outfield defense belongs to the Los Angeles Angels.Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
- Denzer Guzman – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)Denzer Guzman’s average exit velocity has dropped off recently; his 86.9-mph seasonal mark has dropped to 81.2-mph in the last two weeks.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.
- Zach Neto – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)Zach Neto pulls many of his flyballs (38.8% — 95th percentile) and will be challenged by baseball’s 11th-deepest LF fences in today’s matchup.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.
