Boston Red Sox Insights

  • Boston Red Sox – Moneyline (-140)
    The Boston Red Sox outfield defense profiles as the 2nd-strongest among all the teams today.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
  • Roman Anthony – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-150)
    As it relates to his home runs, Roman Anthony has been unlucky since the start of last season. His 15.2 HR per 600 plate appearances mark has been a fair amount lower than the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected HR/600 at 27.7.
    Explain: xHR uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s home run ability more accurately than actual home runs can.
  • Boston Red Sox – 2H Moneyline
    The Boston Red Sox bullpen grades out as the best in the league, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
    Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.

St. Louis Cardinals Insights

  • Kyle Leahy – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (+100/-130)
    Kyle Leahy is projected to record an average of 16.5 outs in this matchup, as forecasted by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
    Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
  • Jordan Walker – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)
    Jordan Walker has made notable strides with his Barrel%, improving his 11.2% rate last season to 26.7% this season.
    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.
  • Jordan Walker – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)
    Jordan Walker hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (41.6% — 100th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting towards the league’s 7th-shallowest CF fences today.
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
