Athletics Insights

• Aaron Civale – Over/Under Pitching Outs
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Aaron Civale to be on a pitch count in this matchup, projecting a maximum of 83 pitches.
  Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
• Shea Langeliers – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-110/-120)
  Shea Langeliers is an extreme flyball hitter and matches up with the weak outfield defense of Atlanta (#3-worst of all teams on the slate).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
• The Athletics have 5 hitters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Max Muncy, Nick Kurtz, Tyler Soderstrom, Austin Wynns, Denzel Clarke).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Atlanta Braves Insights

• Jose Suarez – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)
  With 7 hitters of opposing handedness in the opposing team’s projected lineup, Jose Suarez meets a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s game.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Mauricio Dubon – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+240/-335)
  Since the start of last season, Mauricio Dubon’s 1.7% Barrel%, a reliable standard for measuring power, places him in the 3rd percentile among his peers.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• Atlanta Braves – 2H Moneyline
  The Atlanta Braves bullpen grades out as the 9th-worst in the league, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
