New York Yankees Insights

• Ryan Weathers – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-125/-105)
  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 1.5 Total Bases (+280/-400)
  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.
• It may be best to expect weaker performance for the New York Yankees offense in future games, considering that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) sees them as the 9th-luckiest offense in the league this year.
  Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.

Detroit Tigers Insights

• Tarik Skubal – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)
  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 (+140/-180)
  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.
