Boston Red Sox Insights

• Isiah Kiner-Falefa – Over/Under Total Bases
  Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s average exit velocity has dropped off this year; his 84.6-mph average last season has fallen off to 81.7-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.
• Boston Red Sox – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Boston Red Sox’ bullpen projects as the 2nd-best among 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.

Detroit Tigers Insights

• Framber Valdez – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-110/-120)
  As a result of his large reverse platoon split, Framber Valdez should be in good shape facing 7 batters in the projected batting order of the opposite hand in this game.
  Explain: A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform better against opposite-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be better against a left-handed hitter). Holding this advantage against several hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Colt Keith – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
  Based on Statcast data, the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Expected HR per 600 plate appearances (20.5) may lead us to conclude that Colt Keith has had some very poor luck since the start of last season with his 13.6 actual HR/600.
  Explain: xHR uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s home run ability more accurately than actual home runs can.
• Spencer Torkelson – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+185/-245)
  Spencer Torkelson pulls many of his flyballs (40% — 97th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards the game’s 5th-deepest LF fences today.
  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.
