Detroit Tigers Insights
- Jackson Jobe – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)Jackson Jobe’s higher utilization percentage of his fastball this year (52.3 vs. 44.2% last year) is not ideal since they are generally much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.
- Hao-Yu Lee – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-165/+130)Hao Yu Lee has seen a substantial improvement in his exit velocity in recent games; just compare his 93.6-mph average over the past two weeks to his seasonal 89.7-mph EV.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 Detroit Tigers have 3 bats in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Ben Malgeri, Riley Greene, John Peck).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
Cleveland Guardians Insights
- Gavin Williams – Over/Under 7.5 Strikeouts (-160/+125)Out of all starters, Gavin Williams’s fastball velocity of 96.9 mph grades out in the 91st percentile this year.Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Jo Adell – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Jo Adell’s true offensive skill to be a .326, suggesting that he has had some very poor luck this year given the .024 deviation between that mark and his actual .302 wOBA.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.
- Cleveland Guardians – 2H MoneylineThe Cleveland Guardians bullpen grades out as the 4th-best in Major League Baseball, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).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.
