Toronto Blue Jays Insights
- Patrick Corbin – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)Patrick Corbin’s 2143.7-rpm fastball spin rate since the start of last season is in the 18th percentile out of all SPs.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Tyler Heineman – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-120/-110)Tyler Heineman has had positive variance on his side thus far when it comes to his batting average since the start of last season; his .260 BA is a fair amount higher than his .189 Expected Batting Average, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
- Toronto Blue Jays – 2H MoneylineThe Toronto Blue Jays bullpen projects as the 2nd-best in baseball, according to 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.
Tampa Bay Rays Insights
- Shane McClanahan – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)Shane McClanahan has been given a shorter leash than the average pitcher this year, throwing 11.3 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than league average.Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
- Chandler Simpson – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-210/+160)Chandler Simpson is projected to bat 7th in the batting order today, which would be a downgrade from his 73% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this season.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.
- Yandy Diaz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)Yandy Diaz has a 100th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (44.2%) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them in the direction of MLB’s 5th-shallowest RF 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.
