Pittsburgh Pirates Insights

  • Rafael Flores – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-145/+115)
    Rafael Flores has been lucky this year, compiling a .380 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .302 — a .078 disparity.
    Explain: Players that are overperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
  • Brandon Lowe – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
    In today’s game, Brandon Lowe is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 10th-deepest RF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 39% rate (96th percentile).
    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.

Detroit Tigers Insights

  • Hao-Yu Lee – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)
    Hao Yu Lee is penciled in 2nd in the batting order in today’s game, which would be an upgrade from his 65% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this season.
    Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
  • The Detroit Tigers have 3 hitters in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene, John Peck).
    Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
