Minnesota Twins Insights
- Mike Paredes – Over/Under Pitching OutsMike Paredes has been given a below-average leash this year, throwing 39.2 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than league average.Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
- Luke Keaschall – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-185/+140)Luke Keaschall’s average exit velocity has declined this year; his 86.1-mph average last season has dropped off to 84.1-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.
- Minnesota Twins – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Minnesota Twins’ bullpen profiles as the 9th-worst out of all the teams in MLB.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.
Detroit Tigers Insights
- Framber Valdez – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)Framber Valdez’s curveball rate has decreased by 5% from last year to this one (33.1% to 28.1%) .Explain: Because curveballs are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use them less often may see less success as a result, particularly if he uses his fastball more instead.
- Zach McKinstry – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-165/+130)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Zach McKinstry’s true offensive ability to be a .291, suggesting that he has suffered from bad luck this year given the .075 discrepancy between that mark and his actual .216 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.
- Spencer Torkelson – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)Spencer Torkelson pulls a lot of his flyballs (39.8% — 97th percentile) and will be challenged by the league’s 5th-deepest LF 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.
