Cleveland Guardians Insights

• Tanner Bibee – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)
  Tanner Bibee has a reverse platoon split and has the misfortune of squaring off against 7 same-handed batters in today’s matchup.
  Explain: A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform worse against same-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be worse against a right-handed hitter). Losing this advantage against several hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Rhys Hoskins – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-135/+105)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Rhys Hoskins in the 10th percentile as it relates to 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.
• Rhys Hoskins – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
  Rhys Hoskins pulls many of his flyballs (41.9% — 99th percentile) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards the league’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences in today’s game.
  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.

Houston Astros Insights

• Jose Altuve – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
  Tanner Bibee will hold the platoon advantage against Jose Altuve in today’s game.
  Explain: Right-handed hitters perform better against left-handed pitchers (and visa-versa). This can have a huge impact on whether a hitter will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Houston Astros – Moneyline (-125)
  The Houston Astros projected offense grades out as the 3rd-strongest of all teams on the slate in terms of overall offensive ability.
  Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.
