Boston Red Sox Insights

  • Boston Red Sox – Moneyline (-110)
    The Boston Red Sox outfield defense profiles as the best out of every team today.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
  • Ceddanne Rafaela – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-235/+180)
    Ceddanne Rafaela has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this year (75% of the time), but he is projected to bat 4th on the lineup card in this game.
    Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
  • The Boston Red Sox have 3 hitters in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Trevor Story, Willson Contreras, Roman Anthony).
    Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Toronto Blue Jays Insights

  • Toronto Blue Jays – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-125)
    Eric Lauer is an extreme flyball pitcher (41.2% FB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT) and has the misfortune of pitching in the #2 HR venue among all major league parks in this game.
    Explain: This pitcher’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
  • Toronto Blue Jays – 2H Moneyline
    According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Toronto Blue Jays’ bullpen projects 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.
