New York Yankees

Cincinnati Reds Insights

• JJ Bleday – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-175)
  Extreme groundball hitters like JJ Bleday usually hit better against extreme flyball pitchers like Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz.
  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.
• Cincinnati Reds – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Cincinnati Reds’ bullpen grades out as the 4th-worst among all the teams in the league.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

New York Yankees Insights

• New York Yankees – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+100)
  Elmer Rodriguez is an extreme groundball pitcher (48.7% GB% via the leading projection system, THE BAT), which should make him somewhat immune to the dangers of pitching in Yankee Stadium — the #4 HR venue in MLB — in today’s game.
  Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-expected performance.
• Jasson Dominguez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)
  Jasson Dominguez is projected to bat 2nd on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be an upgrade from his 50% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup 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.
• Anthony Volpe – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
  Anthony Volpe hits many of his flyballs to center field (39.7% — 97th percentile) and will have to hit them out towards MLB’s 5th-deepest CF fences in today’s game.
  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.
