  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Masataka Yoshida in the 91st percentile as it relates to his batting average ability.

  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Toronto Blue Jays Insights

• Trey Yesavage – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)
  When it comes to his strikeout ability, the leading projection system (THE BAT) puts Trey Yesavage in the 85th percentile among all starting pitchers in baseball.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available.
• Eloy Jimenez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-120/-110)
  Eloy Jimenez is projected to hit 6th in the batting order today, which would be a downgrade from his 86% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• Toronto Blue Jays – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Toronto Blue Jays’ bullpen grades out as the 3rd-best out of all major league teams.
  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.
