Troy Melton – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)
With 6 batters who bat from the opposite side in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Troy Melton will not have the upper hand while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances today.
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.
Hao-Yu Lee – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-200/+155)
Hao Yu Lee has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this season (69% of the time), but he is projected to bat 3rd in the lineup today.
Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
Detroit Tigers batters as a group have been among the worst in Major League Baseball this year ( 8th-worst) when it comes to their 88.3-mph average exit velocity.
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.

Davis Martin – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
Davis Martin’s 2410-rpm fastball spin rate this year grades out in the 81st percentile among all starters.
Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
Brenton Doyle – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-110/-120)
Brenton Doyle has been hot of late, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 88.6-mph to 98.9-mph over the past 7 days.
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.
Colson Montgomery – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)
Colson Montgomery pulls a lot of his flyballs (40.8% — 98th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards the game’s 9th-shallowest RF fences today.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
