Detroit Tigers Insights

  • Jack Flaherty – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
    Jack Flaherty has averaged 13.2 outs per game per started this year, grading out in the 7th percentile.
    Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
  • Detroit Tigers – 2H Moneyline
    According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen profiles as the 8th-worst among all the teams in Major League Baseball.
    Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Texas Rangers Insights

  • Kumar Rocker – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)
    Kumar Rocker’s slider rate has spiked by 22.7% from last year to this one (15.8% to 38.5%) .
    Explain: Because sliders are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
  • Kyle Higashioka – Over/Under Total Bases
    Extreme groundball hitters like Kyle Higashioka generally hit worse against extreme groundball pitchers like Jack Flaherty.
    Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
  • Josh Jung – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)
    Josh Jung hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (39.5% — 96th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the league’s 6th-deepest CF fences in today’s game.
    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.
