Cincinnati Reds Insights

  • Rhett Lowder – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
    With 7 batters of the opposite hand in the opposing team’s projected lineup, Rhett Lowder will not have the upper hand while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in this game.
    Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
  • Sal Stewart – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+140)
    The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Sal Stewart in the 94th percentile when assessing his batting average talent.
    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. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
  • Nate Lowe – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
    Nathaniel Lowe has a 97th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (38%) and will be challenged by the game’s 8th-deepest LF fences in today’s matchup.
    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.

New York Yankees Insights

  • New York Yankees – Moneyline (-270)
    The New York Yankees infield defense profiles as the 3rd-best among every team on the slate today.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
  • Jasson Dominguez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-220/+165)
    Jasson Dominguez is penciled in 4th in the batting order in this matchup, which would be an upgrade from his 50% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this year.
    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.
  • According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the projected offense for the New York Yankees today holds an estimated true talent wOBA of .319, which is significantly worse than their actual wOBA of .335 this year.
    Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.
