Cleveland Guardians Insights

• Joey Cantillo – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-165/+125)
  Joey Cantillo projects for 2.4 walks in this matchup, according to 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, and more.
• Steven Kwan – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Steven Kwan’s average exit velocity has dropped off this year; his 86.3-mph average last season has fallen off to 82.1-mph.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• Cleveland Guardians – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Cleveland Guardians’ bullpen profiles as the 8th-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.

New York Yankees Insights

• Cam Schlittler – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)
  Cameron Schlittler’s cut-fastball percentage has increased by 10.7% from last season to this one (16.4% to 27.1%) .
  Explain: Because cutters 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.
• Anthony Volpe – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
  In today’s game, Anthony Volpe is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 5th-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 39.5% rate (97th percentile).
  Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
