Positives for the Detroit Tigers Series Game 2 Game Today

The #2 field in Major League Baseball for boosting offensive stats, via the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Sutter Health Park.

,Among all major league parks, Sutter Health Park has the 4th-lowest average fence height.

,High temperatures are strongly correlated with more offense (and fewer strikeouts), and the weather forecast predicts the highest temperatures on the slate at 106°.

,The wind projects to be blowing out to RF at 14.8-mph in this contest, the best of the day for batters.

,Considering the 0.7 gap between Framber Valdez’s 7.31 K/9 and his 8.01 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the unluckiest pitchers in baseball this year in terms of strikeouts and figures to positively regress the rest of the season.

,When it comes to his strikeout ability, the leading projection system (THE BAT) puts Jackson Perkins in the 86th percentile among all starting pitchers in Major League Baseball.

,Jackson Perkins’s 95.1-mph fastball velocity this year is in the 77th percentile among all starters.

,Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are typically a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Jackson Perkins must realize this, because he has relied on his off-speed and breaking balls a lot this year: 62.7% of the time, ranking in the 87th percentile.

,Grading out in the 81st percentile, Jackson Perkins has compiled a 26.1% K% this year.

,With a 1.02 deviation between Jackson Perkins’s 10.54 K/9 and his 9.52 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the luckiest pitchers in the majors this year in terms of strikeouts and figures to see worse results going forward.
