Detroit Tigers Insights

  • Joey Wentz has been given less leash than the typical pitcher this year, throwing 11.4 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than the average starter.

  • Eric Haase has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (51% of the time), but he is projected to bat 7th in the lineup in this game.

  • Miguel Cabrera has a 98th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (41.5%) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards baseball's shallowest RF fences today.

Baltimore Orioles Insights

  • It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are generally a pitcher's least effective pitch. Austin Voth must realize this, because he has used his off-speed and breaking balls a lot this year: 58.9% of the time, grading out in the 80th percentile.

  • Austin Hays's average exit velocity has decreased lately; his 87.9-mph seasonal mark has lowered to 76.3-mph in the past 14 days.

  • Baltimore's 14.3° launch angle since the start of last season is among the highest in the game: #3 overall.
