Tampa Bay Rays

Boston Red Sox Insights

• Jake Bennett – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+140/-180)
  Considering that groundball hitters are less effective against groundball pitchers, Jake Bennett (47.4% GB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) is well-situated today with 4 GB hitters in the opposing team’s projected batting order.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Isiah Kiner-Falefa – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
  Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s average exit velocity has decreased lately; his 83.4-mph seasonal mark has dropped off to 73.7-mph in the last week.
  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.
• Boston Red Sox hitters as a group rank among the worst in the majors this year ( 7th-worst) as it relates to their 88.4-mph average exit velocity.
  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.

Tampa Bay Rays Insights

• Drew Rasmussen – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-150/+120)
  It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Drew Rasmussen has used his non-fastballs 9.9% more often this year (51.7%) than he did last year (41.8%).
  Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
• Cedric Mullins – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)
  Cedric Mullins is an extreme flyball batter and faces the strong outfield defense of Boston (#1-best on the slate).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• Yandy Diaz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)
  Yandy Diaz has a 100th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (43.3%) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards 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.
