New York Yankees Insights

• Ryan Weathers – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)
  With 6 bats of the opposite hand in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Ryan Weathers will be at a disadvantage while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in this 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.
• Jose Caballero – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
  Jose Caballero’s average exit velocity has declined this season; his 86.1-mph EV last year has lowered to 83.5-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.
• The underlying talent of the New York Yankees projected offense today (.321 projected wOBA per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be significantly worse than their .332 wOBA this year.
  Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.

Detroit Tigers Insights

• Tarik Skubal – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-150/+115)
  Among all SPs, Tarik Skubal’s fastball velocity of 96.1 mph is in the 91st percentile this year.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Matt Vierling – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-185)
  Matt Vierling has been unlucky this year, posting a .262 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .314 — a .052 deviation.
  Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
• The 9.1% Barrel% of the Detroit Tigers grades them out as the #7 team in Major League Baseball this year by this standard.
  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.
