Detroit Tigers

Colorado Rockies Insights

• Gabriel Hughes – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
  Contrary to popular belief, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Gabriel Hughes has utilized his fastball a lot this year, though: 60.9% of the time, grading out in the 100th percentile.
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.
• Zac Veen – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)
  Zac Veen has seen a notable increase in his exit velocity recently; just compare his 97.6-mph average over the past week to his seasonal 89.5-mph mark.
  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 underlying talent of the Colorado Rockies projected batting order today (.295 projected wOBA according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be considerably weaker than their .321 wOBA this year.
  Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.

Detroit Tigers Insights

• Jackson Jobe – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+130/-170)
  Jackson Jobe’s 97.1-mph velocity on his fastball this year is a significant 1.3-mph increase from last year’s 95.8-mph mark.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher who improves his velocity will likely see improved results.
• Detroit Tigers bats as a unit rank near the bottom of MLB this year ( 7th-worst) in regard to their 88.3-mph average exit velocity.
  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.
