+120O/U: 8
(-110/-110)-140

Javier Baez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)
In terms of his batting average, Javier Baez has had positive variance on his side since the start of last season. His .263 mark has been considerably higher than the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected Batting Average (xBA) at .219.
Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
Detroit’s 16.8° launch angle (a reliable metric to assess the ability to lift the ball for power) is among the most flyball-inducing in Major League Baseball this year: #1 overall.
Explain: A high launch angle generally means the hitter can lift the ball into the air well, which is a key component for power and home runs.

Emerson Hancock – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-145/+115)
Emerson Hancock’s change-up rate has decreased by 15.3% from last season to this one (20.2% to 4.9%) .
Explain: Because change-ups 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.
Cal Raleigh – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-135/+105)
Cal Raleigh has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (87% of the time), but he is penciled in 6th on the lineup card in today’s game.
Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
The Seattle Mariners jointly rank 21st- overall in MLB this year in regard to the maximum exit velocity of all of the baseballs their [HITTER}s have hit.
Explain: If a player can hit the ball hard even once, it has great predictive power over his ability to do it again. If he’s never hit the ball hard, it’s a sign of a lack of power.
