  Andres Gimenez is an extreme groundball hitter and faces the strong infield defense of Chicago (#1-best of all teams 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.
• Per the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the team with the least strikeout-prone lineup on the slate today is the Toronto Blue Jays with a 17.7% underlying K%.
  Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the least inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.

Chicago Cubs Insights

• Ben Brown – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-125/-105)
  When assessing his strikeout ability, the leading projection system (THE BAT) forecasts Ben Brown in the 89th percentile among all starters in MLB.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available.
• Nico Hoerner – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)
  Nico Hoerner has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this season (86% of the time), but he is projected to bat 6th in the lineup today.
  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.
