Minnesota Twins Insights

• Bailey Ober – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+130/-170)
  Bailey Ober’s change-up utilization has spiked by 7.8% from last year to this one (28.9% to 36.7%) .
  Explain: Because change-ups are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
• James Outman – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (+110/-145)
  James Outman is an extreme flyball batter and faces the strong outfield defense of Boston (#1-best on the slate today).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• Victor Caratini – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
  Victor Caratini hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (38.9% — 91st percentile) and will have a big advantage facing the league’s 3rd-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.

Boston Red Sox Insights

• Boston Red Sox – Moneyline (-170)
  Among every team playing today, the strongest infield defense belongs to the Boston Red Sox.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Ceddanne Rafaela – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-215/+165)
  Ceddanne Rafaela has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this season (66% of the time), but he is penciled in 2nd in the lineup in this matchup.
  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.
• It may be best to expect better results for the Boston Red Sox offense the rest of the season, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) views them as the 6th-unluckiest offense in the league this year.
  Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
