Cleveland Guardians Insights

• Slade Cecconi – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+110/-145)
  Slade Cecconi has utilized his cut-fastball 23.3% more often this season (26%) than he did last year (2.7%).
  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.
• Steven Kwan – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)
  Steven Kwan is penciled in 7th in the lineup today, which would be a downgrade from his 76% 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.
• Cleveland Guardians – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Cleveland Guardians’ bullpen projects as the 9th-best among all MLB 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

• Carlos Rodon – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
  Carlos Rodon has compiled a 12.2% Swinging Strike% since the start of last season, checking in at the 79th percentile.
  Explain: Swinging Strike% measures how often a pitcher gets a batter to whiff at a pitch and is regarded to be a strong indicator of strikeout ability and overall pitching talent.
• Jose Caballero – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
  There has been a decrease in Jose Caballero’s average exit velocity this season, from 86.1 mph last year to 83.3 mph now
  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.
• 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 39.4% rate (96th 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.
