On July 19, the Blue Jays narrowly lost to the Tigers in a 5-4 contest, despite holding a slight edge in pre-game odds. This defeat marks another hit for Toronto in what&#8217;s been a below-average season for them, holding a 44-53 record. On the flip side, the Tigers, with a 48-50 record, are having an average season and look to build on their recent success.<\/p>\n<p>On the mound for Toronto is left-hander Yusei Kikuchi, who, despite an unimpressive 4-8 record and a <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">4.42<\/a> ERA, has been notably unlucky. His 3.35 xFIP suggests he\u2019s due for better results. Kikuchi&#8217;s projections indicate he&#8217;ll pitch around 5.4 innings, allowing 2.3 earned runs while striking out 6.2 batters. His last start was a tough one, where he allowed 7 earned runs over 5 innings, signaling he\u2019ll be eager to bounce back.<\/p>\n<p>Starting for the Tigers is Reese Olson, a right-hander with a 4-8 record and a solid <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">3.30<\/a> ERA. However, his 3.81 SIERA suggests some luck has been on his side, and he might be due for a regression. Olson&#8217;s projections show him pitching about 5.3 innings, allowing 2.6 earned runs, and striking out 4.8 batters. He has been a consistent performer, as seen in his last outing with 3 earned runs over 6 innings.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, both teams have struggled this season, with the Blue Jays ranking 22nd in overall performance and the Tigers at 25th. Toronto\u2019s best hitter, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., carries a strong <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/batting-average\">.288<\/a> average with 15 home runs and a .819 OPS. Meanwhile, Riley Greene leads the Tigers with a <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/batting-average\">.271<\/a> average and 17 home runs, boasting a .863 OPS.<\/p>\n<p>The bullpen matchups also show a slight edge for Detroit, ranked 16th, compared to Toronto\u2019s 21st. Given these dynamics, the Blue Jays look to leverage their slight home-field advantage and reverse their recent misfortunes. According to THE BAT X, the leading MLB projection system, Toronto is favored with a projected win probability of 58%, which is notably higher than the implied 52% from the betting markets, suggesting potential value in backing the Blue Jays.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">Detroit Tigers Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Reese Olson &#8211; Over\/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-110\/-120)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Reese Olson has used his change-up 7.2% more often this year (22.4%) than he did last year (15.2%).<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Because change-ups 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Wenceel Perez &#8211; Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135\/-180)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Wenceel Perez&#8217;s average exit velocity has fallen off recently; his 87.4-mph seasonal figure has decreased to 80-mph in the past week&#8217;s worth of games.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Reese Olson &#8211; Over\/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-110\/-120)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Jake Rogers, the Tigers&#8217;s expected catcher in today&#8217;s matchup, profiles as an elite pitch framer according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Pitch framing is a catcher&#8217;s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, &#8220;stealing&#8221; strikes for his pitcher.
